DodgeBall

Ridgebacks aren't usually ball dogs but sometimes they surprise you. Leeloo found a ball I'd brought in from the truck and once she started playing with it all the dogs just *had* to have it. She was so cute, she'd let it go, watch it roll and then reach out with one of her cute little white feet to grab it. So adorable. Of course being no expert in ball play it rolled out of control and was lost to an eagle eyed puppy. After the requisite mad scuffle of course. Often the ball ended up underneath someone who couldn't see it and there was much confusion and desperate searching until it was located once again. Archer had the ball briefly a couple times but always sat down to chew on it. Leeloo would stand over him demanding to have it returned but he would never listen. Raimi did eventually get the ball and spent a few minutes loving it, pushing it with his nose, picking the fuzz off it and generally doing simple Boy things. Right now the location of the ball is unknown but when I'm feeling a little nostalgic for mad scrambles in my livingroom I'll dig it out from under the couch or TV stand or where ever it happens to be.

Your dogs aren't ball dogs? That's interesting because Max loved fetching up until he was maybe 5.
