Frisbee Puppies
A few weeks ago, we started throwing the frisbee for the puppies and have discovered a new talent! Will caught on right away, which isn’t surprising since he’s always been the one that likes to retrieve things. Emma was a lot more reluctant to get involved in the chase and retrieval, especially since Big Will likes to race out ahead of her and grab it first. But she’s more interested in the game now, and joins right in to chase it down. She’s best when it’s just one on one with her, though.
We take them to the ball park at Town Park, where we’ve gotten into an almost daily morning routine to let them run. Now it’s morning frisbee: chase, catch and retrieve. Will is really a natural. He loves to run it down, and has a really good sense of timing. He knows when the disk is going to drop, or reverse slightly and will time his run and jump for the big catch. He’s started to jump for it too, but we’re trying not to let it go too high for now, since he’s still only 8 months old and not as fully developed and strong as he will be. He always beats Emma to the catch! But then she will catch up and the two of them join in to bring the frisbee back for another throw.
Ready to pounce for the catch!
