Summer Fun!

While we were home Morey got to enjoy his favorite activity- swimming! Grandma has a small pool we set up in our yard and we are fortunate to have friends who invite us over to swim in their big pool.

Even when the pool was filled with cold hose water, Morey didn't hesitate to jump right in!

 Bobbing for tennis balls, anyone?

Morey definitely has a ranking system when it comes to his toys. Tennis balls are always his favorite and he won't play with anything else if a ball is around. However, if a ball isn't an option than he is quite happy to play with other toys. In the pool he had fun playing with an orange rubber bone and a Kong Wubba (an octopus type toy with long dangling "tentacles").

Morey spends a lot of his time "on duty" and doing things that dogs typically aren't expected to do. I love being able to give him a chance to be a regular dog and enjoy chasing toys, running around and jumping in the pool. He might be an experienced professional but he still loves to play!

Double duty- retrieving two object at once!

After several hours at the pool Morey was clearly exhausted but he wouldn't stop getting in the water. I had to enforce "time outs" so he would lay down and rest for a few minutes before getting right back in the pool. He was having too much fun and didn't want to stop! He was a very tired pup by the end of the day!
