Thunder and I got out for a little exercise in our yard chasing a large ball.  We may not make any of the World Cup teams, but we had fun.

  1. Fun! Katie used to be like that with her soccer ball. Now she can’t do the moves really, but she will chase it a couple times. That must be a tough ball as those plastic kids balls always deflate at our house.

    1. It is sort of a hard foam. We also have a hard horse ball, but I could not find it for the life of me. I need to do a hunt for it. 🙂

  2. What fun! It’s always good to mix up/add new fitness challenge to plain old, boring fetch.

  3. FUN and a great game to play. You guys got great moves. Golden Woofs

  4. Laughed at the pounce photo! Great expression, great tail ~ an exclamation point!
    Happy weekend all.

  5. Soccer is a great backyard game! And you look marvelous playing with the bright red ball.

  6. I feel like I need to get a large ball for the dogs to chase, though I’m not sure if they would get it. With two herding dogs in the house though I have to think they’d be amused. Are your dogs rough on their balls? I have seen the Jolly Balls that I think are supposed to be durable but I’m not sure what the best kind is.

  7. What a great game. Ava and I play a similar game with a soccer ball. The goal is to always end up like your last picture. “All Tired Out”

  8. I keep telling my dogs they are retrievers but do they listen? NO! Neither one of them really likes to fetch. They may do it for two or three tosses, but that’s usually it. Of course I’ve also seen very ball driven dogs and I guess if I had my choice, I’d prefer not to have one of those! LOL

    Love the photos, what a great way to keep in shape.

    1. LOL we were actually doing more chasing than fetching. Of course at one point Thunder decided he had to pick the ball up and bring it so it has teeth marks in it now. 🙂

  9. What great fun! I just love watching them have a blast chasing a ball around (Luke is the only one that really does it). You got some great photos of the action too.

  10. You gave me an idea with this post. I decided I’m going to go get a kid’s soccer ball to play with Ducky out in the yard. (I don’t want an expensive, “regulation” ball for this purpose.)

  11. That was some great ball playing sweet Thunder, you are a winner in our book. By the way that sure is a pretty red ball. Fabulous pictures! Hugs and nose kisses
