 I finally wore Adie out!
Adie is 13 months old now and a ball of energy. She learned that "go fetch" was a really fun game and every night when I come home she grabs one of her little tennis balls and nags me until I start throwing it for her. I sit on the couch and either throw the ball way past her or right to her so she can catch it. She returns it by running up the stairs I have in front of the couch. Her cue to stop playing is me laying down on the couch. Sometimes she keeps nagging me though. That's what she did last night. I decided I was going to see just how long she can run back and forth. She went top speed over and over again for a solid hour and forty-five minutes. She finally put the ball down on the floor and stood there looking at me like I was supposed to say something. I had noticed she slowed down coming back the last few trips. Even at that though she was nagging me again after a 15 minute break. So we went for another 15 minutes. GEEZ! My dh thinks I shouldn't do things like that because her little heart might burst from working so hard. What do you guys think? She stopped when she felt like it so I see no harm in it and now I know just how long it tales to get her good and tired. An hour walk doesn't do it! LOL |
