Our Nightly, Mandatory, Must Do Ritual

Those of you who know Mason probably think of him as a pretty laid back pooch. Well I can tell you that is just his public appearance. He demands three things in life:

1 - prompt feedings in the morning and when we get home from work
2 - a sqeeky dog toy or rope to pass the time with,
3 - playtime after Miranda and I finish our dinner

We have rotated between walks, frisbee, and games of fetch in the backyard. He (and his body) seems to like the games of fetch more than anything else. He has the fetch part down, but just won't give it back to you unless you have something else to throw. So we have about a half dozen tennis balls and three squeeky footballs in the backyard for each nights festivities.

I sometimes grumble about having to go outside and play with him when it is still 99 degrees. But we always have a good time, and my fastball with the tennis ball and the spiral on my football are lookin' good! Here's a few of the action shots from tonight. Sorry they aren't great pictures, it's hard to take action shots when you are throwing the ball...
