Fetch

A sure sign of spring.  I brought out a new tennis ball this morning and played Fetch with Monty.  He's getting better at dropping the ball rather than playing keep away.  Its pure joy to watch him run.  Over the hard ground you can hear the rhythm of his running.   I was very proud of him when, while chasing the ball at full speed, he turned around and ran back to me when the ball  went out of bounds!!   In three days it will be his unofficial birthday (His papers state he went to the vet on 12/23 and the vet proclaimed him 9 months, so we figured we'd call his birthday 3/23)
