I swear I'm not tired

"What do you mean it's bed time?  I have a toy and I'm ready to play!"

"Aww, come on, give it back!"

Early Christmas present

We opened presents and had Christmas dinner with Daniel's family today and they even got Zoe a box full of toys.

I think it more than made up for us not bringing her along.  She was full of excitement to see the new toys.  Full body wags and butt tucks for about 10 minutes or so.

Tomorrow we will be spending Zoe's first official Christmas with my parents and she will join in on the excitement.

Did you say bark park?

While we don't go everyday like we used to, I still manage to take Zoe to her favorite place on earth,  Millie Bush Bark Park at least a couple times a week. 

I'm still so amazed at how well she plays fetch.  I've never had a dog that was into retrieving and I kind of got used to Zoe going after a toy but never brining it back.  I just figured that's how she would always be and I even started calling her a "Labrador Receiver."

It makes me so happy to watch her and Daniel play.  She would play a game of fetch all day now if we let her.

When it's raining on a Sunday

It's been raining just about all day today which means Zoe didn't get to go to the park or get much outdoor playtime.  It's kind of sad because this past week she has developed an addiction to tennis balls.  It's all she wants to play with at the park now which is surprising for me because she never really had a care in the world for them before.  I guess that means my Lab is growing up?

When we do play fetch indoors we always make sure to praise her and give a treat every time she brings the ball back to us.  She's such a fast learner!  She's just about perfect at bringing the ball back and dropping it for the next throw.  Daniel now wants to work on having Zoe drop the ball in his hand.

And here is a video of Zoe in action and Daniel doing some training with her.
