Snow Ball Fetch

[Karen]

AH, the memories this brings back. This game was always a failure with our first Saint Bernard Freckles. Not that she didn;t love it, but it usually went like this ...

1. Human makes a snowball with Freckles eagerly watching
2. Ready? asks human, cocking arm, Freckles crouches to run
3. Human throws snowball, Freckles avidly following it




4. If the snowball landed, Freckles would pounce on it, then get all confused as to where it went.

Note to cosmos: snowballs are not designed to withstand being pounced on by 185 pounds of excited dog. They cease being snowball, and end up back as part of the snowpack on the ground.

Sigh. Go to step one again ... It only worked if she would catch one in the air, but pouncing it was so much more fun ...

AWWW! That's soo cute! It's kinda different but not that much! Did Freckles usually eat the snowball after he pounced on it? Most dogs usually do that. My dog, Dallas, use to catch the snow ball in the air and eat it! So cute!

She'd sniff the ground, but after 185 pounds of enthusiasm lands on a snowball, there's no "ball" left to eat - just squashed snow that blends in with the rest of the squashed snow!
