ball

I FINALLY found a new ball for Sadie!  She is very particular - if she doesn't like the ball, she just won't go get it and bring it back when you throw it.  Years ago we got started with "Buddy Glow Ball" - she loved it.  I think Brandy was even still doing a little fetching at the time.  The other good thing about it was that it couldn't be destroyed right away either - tennis balls don't last long around here.  Anyways, something happened to Buddy Glow Ball and we tried a different kind of ball.  No go.  Eventually I found something very similar and that was a success.  Of course, things happen around here - balls get lost in the snow, out in the hay field, etc.  When I can, I buy a couple balls at the same time.  Anyways, earlier this summer the one ball we had left accidentally got hit by the mower, and I could not find a replacement!  It's not a whole lot of fun to throw a chopped up ball.  Last weekend I found a couple balls and Sadie is loving it.

Macy is something else.  Deafer than a doornail, and hair unkempt (that's our fault).  She has stayed outside in the kennel with Sadie since soon after the boys were born, and at first she begged to come in, but now we have to drag her in the house.  She thinks she's coming in to have her ears cleaned, which she hates, but we've been having her clean up the floor after the boys eat.  That works out pretty nice!

Apparently Logan took a step last night without hanging onto anything - and I missed it!  I was upstairs and I heard Mike, I couldn't believe it.  I guess Logan was going from Mike to the pack-n-play and he let go of Mike and took a step to the pack-n-play.  So, I'll be working with him today to try and get him to do it for me.  :)
