Midnight "Pool Party"
The nice thing about working the 11:30am - 9pm shift is you can sleep in after you stayed awake late into the night.
Last night my dogs convinced me I should come out and play at 11:40pm. I caved to the peer pressure.
I have a tennis ball that has a big hole in it. If I throw it into the pool it sinks to the bottom. It is Chi's pleasure to fish the ball from the bottom of the pool (dunking his entire head in) and shake it getting the water all out - then dropping it back into the water to sink. He will continue to do this until I take the ball away from him....... I'll usually let him play with himself while I throw another ball for Mo for several minutes - then save Chi from himself by confiscating the soggy ball and hiding it. Once he can see it's gone - he'll join Mo and me playing catch.
