Most of you have already seen the video of Snowball’s first night playing fetch.
Her consistency was shaky at first, but now she’s reliable.
Each night, when I tell her it’s time for bed, she runs up, and we play fetch while I read.
She likes to play with the toy on the floor for a few minutes before she brings it back to me, which gives me time to turn some pages.
The boy is disappointed that she thinks this is only bedtime behavior; she looks at us like we’re crazy when we ask her to bring a living room toy back to us.
Although she usually gets tired before I put my book down, there have been a few nights when she’s wanted to keep going longer than I could.
And there have been a few when she’s wanted to play in the middle of the night. I’ve woken up with a toy mouse in my hand more than once.
Today, I woke up with one between my collarbones. She was on my chest too; maybe she just wanted all of us to be together.
