The dogs are following me around like I'm the canine messiah. I
guess it's because I'm marginally smarter than they are and I feed
them. If they had opposable thumbs, it would be a different story.

But there he was, waiting. When I stepped out and held up the sacred
orb he began yodeling joyously and spinning in circles. I stepped
through the gate, crossed the gravel pad and tossed the ball out into
the grass. He rocketed after it, dribbling it ahead of him, guiding
it with snout, shoulders and paws. I sat on the patio for a good half
hour, watching him herding his new ball. He'd break off every few
minutes to run up and throw himself into his cooling tank for a dip
and
a drink, panting and grinning at me and splattering me with his
sodden tail.

LOL

Did he know? Yes. No. Maybe. It was worth it, though, even with
all
the extra hassle. How often can you bring that kind of joy to
anybody?

What a wonderful, entertaining story! Thanks for sharing this, Kathleen.
I'm so glad Zane got his new basketball :D
