We are having a bit of a confrontation at our house. WE want Amber to FETCH the ball. SHE wants US to play TUG OF WAR….
Amber truly loves a ball. She will tolerate the really hard ones, but prefers the soft, squishy ones. She doesn’t seem to have a color preference, but it’s obvious that her true love is one that squeaks loudly.
She squeaks the ball as she brings it to us, hopeful that THIS TIME we’ll grab the slimy ball and give it a vicious tug. She has a strong grip, so we can never take it from her. Finally, after we have failed to play her game correctly over and over, she drops the ball at our feet. We throw it, she leaps to get it, and brings it back – not to GIVE it to us – but to offer it again for a great game of Tug of War….

Amber seems to create much fun, Linda š
Have you thought about giving Amber a toy specially for playing tug of war?

We have some. She weighs 94 pounds, though, and puts her whole body into the game. There is no way we can hold on to OUR end more than a couple of seconds. She WISHES we were strong enough to give her a good game.

You could try to tie a large rope to a tree and let her jump and play in this way. It should help her and you too.

That sounds like a good idea. We’ll try to do that.
