I enjoy playing fetch with DJ. When she’s ready, she brings her rabbit-fur mouse to my chair. If I ignore her, she dumps it in my lap. Or she makes a slight small sound.
I toss it to different areas of the room. Most of the time, I toss it through the doorway that connects the living room to a hall, because that’s the furthest distance without obstructions.
I love watching her bring the mouse back to me. Her head is erect, almost proud. Her legs dance in tandem concert. Her ears tilt back at a 45° angle.
This game can go on for well over an hour.
When she’s done, she just drop the mouse in the floor and wander off elsewhere in the house.
This is my favorite time of the evening, next to the time she curls in my lap as I pet her.
