Dublin is an ace catcher. Widget is another one that can't figure out why in the world anyone would want to throw things at her.

Hi Sherry Lynn! Long time no see.

Nah, I don't have the heart to make Eddie wait with a treat on his nose. But I've been working at catch the ball. He's about 25 percent successful, but mainly because it's a fairly good sized ball. I need a smaller one.

My bad!

BTW... How's Mr Rusty doing?

No, Meeko is not a catcher. They have been a few times by accident but, I mean a few! lol

My two will catch anything that bounces. As soon as I bounce the ball, they both fly into the air to catch it. It's great exercise for them and they're exhausted after 15 mins of play.

Sapphire can catch some of her toys. Treats, no, but that's ok, I still love her.

Rusty's doing GREAT! He's become Jack's best friend, and vice-versa. Eddie is Mr. Aloof around the house, but Jack and Rusty couldn't care less. They nap together all the time.

I had to put Rusty in a kennel for the first time this weekend while we went out of town, and I was stressing. He doesn't always like other big dogs, and he has a tendency toward separation anxiety. But they said he did great. And he didn't look stressed or out of sorts at all when I picked him up. I was delighted. Thanks for asking!

Oh, and on topic, Eddie is getting better at catching!

Trixie and Chipsie can catch them. Lexi just stands there and lets them hit her in the head and then looks down to find them after they've landed.
