Hee hee! They all are so cute! And your pups are adorable!!!

I know how you feel though. Nova is NOT much of a player. She never has been, even in her "puppy" years (Were not sure how old Nova is but after she came to us she still had some growing to do so we estimate that she is One). I will throw a ball and Nova will just stare at me. I'm like gooooo get! And she will lay her head down. The only time she plays is when I have food (LOL!) and ask her to do something (like in Agility, jump over the jumps). One thing that I found help fill my void was taking her on walks and training her. I felt like it was our own special form of "playing." and there is always something new your dog can learn, Nova knows about 35 tricks, and will do them alot. Now that she knows them I am trying to teach her to do them while not being right in front of me (me giving her the command to sit while on the other side of the room and her sitting) So, there is always something you can work on and it's a never ending process, I train my mom's 12 year old Sheltie who is very ill right now and he still love every moment of it!
