Chewing a stick is a very important job!

Of course first you have to catch the stick!!

And even before the catching there is the waiting for the slowpoke to catch up and start throwing the stick!

@stepheneb @Michigander Sometimes I wish that my dogs liked to play like dogs. But then I realize how tired I'd be all the time if they did.

@mlanger @Michigander

Stella definitely has lots of energy!

Our back deck is on a hillside and she appears to have an inexhaustible amount of energy to chase sticks down the hillside and run back up.

Inside later she will be more tired even though she won’t stop the game on her own.

@stepheneb @Michigander I had a border collie like that with balls. He could chase them all day. Every evening, while we were waiting for my future wasband to get home, I'd use one of those ball tosser things and bounce balls all over the tennis courts at the condo that no one used for tennis.

Sadly, my wasband got custody of the dog. I suspect he didn't chase many balls after that. He's probably passed on by now.
