Have I told you we are in love? Will's new dog has stolen our hearts. He is so fun and cute! He is a little obsessive compulsive though. He really loves his ball. He has 2 of them-one inside and one outside. He almost constantly has one of them in his mouth. He really loves for you to throw it so he can retrieve it for you. Will loves this since the Nelsen's dog, Bonnie and his Nana's dog never really seemed to get the concept of fetch. Will would throw the ball and they would run away with it. WAGs on the other hand brings it back and places the slobbery thing in your hand to throw again. He can play this game for hours and after 2 months has yet to lose one of his balls. If only the kids were so careful with their toys!
Chasing a ball all day tends to make WAGs a little hot, so what does he do to cool off? Well...We have a fountain in our front yard--or what used to be a fountain, but until recently has just used by the dogs as a large water bowl. Last week, WAGs started sticking his head under the water. He has always loved a bath and the cool feeling he gets afterwards so I guess he decided to get that feeling more than once a week at bathtime. Soon this wasn't good enough though. If sticking your head under water makes you feel cool, surely getting your whole body wet would be better. So WAGs now takes time each day to sit in his "little pool". He loves it. The kids like throwing rocks the size of their fists in the water and watching him search and rescue the rock. He is so cute blowing bubbles. WAGs has certainly taken to water and probably wished we had a lake he could take a dip in each day. There are days I would gladly join him in his "little pool" if only it were bigger!
Go fetch WAGs!
