Poncho just didn’t understand that the game is Keep Away ! That’s what my Max does: brings me the ball, even drops it at my feet! But, when I go to pick it up, he swipes it, then gets down on the ground with tail waggin’……beggin’ for me to try to get it from him. I pretend to ignore him, then he’ll drop it at my feet again to tempt me….
Oh….I would just love to know what goes on in their heads!That’s a great anecdote.
And, by the way, I have “fake-thrown” the ball (and a pretend ball, as well), but don’t I do it too often for exactly the reason you specified……he will remember it!
I’m glad we don’t live in a penthouse apartment! I swear he would probably jump off the balcony after a real (or fake) ball!!!
And I gotta go see that.I love Poncho movies…I think I have every one on DVD (Dog Video Disc.)
But um… just a word, please….I just got a call from Poo Poo …he’s a bit… well… distraught, I guess you’d say…
He didn’t think you were going to bring up his… gender issues… well, I mean… his lack of gender issues…Cos, as you know, he still has nightmares about the… you know… the vet…and what he’s sure he… er… lost that day.
He was only a puppy… but he’s convinced that somebody drugged him, so he wouldn’t know what was happening…. If he’d only realised that Poncho knows how to get a lawyer…
Poo Poo would be wise not to rely on Poncho, who has been known to disguise himself as a lawyer, among other professions that he’s played in the movies. For all we know, he could have been doing surgery back then….

Poncho can’t get what he wants the normal way, so he resorts to the legal system. Typical…

Good morning to all my friends. My Yorkie mix plays that game also, StelBel. Y’all have a blessed Sunday.

Now…let’s see….what is the likelihood that Poncho has gotten carried away [again] and thinks he’s a lawyer…just because he played one in a movie???

Stel!
You’re not saying that Poncho might have been the one who…
No, no… you couldn’t be saying th… I mean not on another dog…and a friend…I mean…he wouldn’t have…. would he?
I hope.
But maybe Poo Poo should…. um… watch his “friends” more closely….
