Hi Julie - I pretty much think "like mother, like dog-ter". :) Bella's pretty agile but she can't catch. To be fair, I should have noted this picture was taken in almost complete darkness - but I thought dogs could see in the dark? ;)
LOL Wyatt! Oh but she really *can't* catch. (I think she just gets too excited.) That's ok - she likes the chase, slap and pounce game that results from a miss much better anyway. :)
Oh Alfie, you are sooooo handsome. (I'm looking for just the right "You talking to me?" photo to enter your hop.) Thanks for sticking up for my Bella - I think she'd like having a big, strong, handsome guy like you around looking out for her. ;)
Well, at least Bella isn't 10 feet past it like Beryl usually is, and Beryl would be worse in the dark! Beryl has very rarely caught a tennis ball on the bounce but it's usually a total accident. Bella certainly looks like she can catch:)
Oh poor Beryl. She's just too fast for the balls, that's all. ;)
Bella really can't catch (not even food - seriously) but she's remarkably good with her feet. She pounces and traps the balls that way - and loves to chase them around the room.
Beau, on the other hand, could snag a piece of popcorn out of the air from 10 feet away with just a flick of his head. Never. Missed. :)
Ha ha, so cute. I can relate to Bella, I'm not the best athlete in the world and I would probably miss too. Great pic! :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Maggie, This certainly isn't a great picture 'compositionally'-speaking but I have always loved it. She looks like such a goofy little doofus.
ReplyDeleteShe was still just a baby here and seeing her play at all, compared to the trembling little mass we brought home, was such a treat.
Hi Luna! I bet you wouldn't have missed, would you?
ReplyDelete(BTW - you are just insanely cute!)
Playing Fetch in the dark isn't as easy as it might seem :o)
