Simple minds, simple pleasures

Tonight I'm thankful for the simplemindedness of my poochie, Charlie.

We went to Target today and purchased the economy size bag of tennis balls. These are her absolute FAVORITE toy in the entire world. But Puppy can chew through them like nobody's business, so it's important that we don't spend a lot of money on them.

As we were unpacking our bag of loot, Puppy saw me put the bag of balls away on the upper shelf of the closet where they live until she busts through one and is need of a new source of joy. She got so excited about the arrival of so many new balls that she plopped down and smiled up at them, patiently waiting for someone to get them down for her.

And there she sits, an hour later. And probably will for the rest of the night.

  1. awesome. if only i could concentrate on my studies like that! you should dump them all on the floor at once to see what she does. we tried it with our old dog panda and she was sort of excited into a stand still. there were so many she couldn't decide what to do.

    1. That's exactly what we did this morning! She certainly wasn't stunned into stillness though! She tried to simultaneously chase all 12 balls!
