A Carefully Monitored Game

We have to keep Saphyre quiet because of the heartworm treatment that she is under, but she is a young active dog who wants to play. We did indulge her in a short game with her rope the other night, being careful not to encourage her running or jumping for it. She has grown to be a great favorite of my son Nate -- who being an active young person himself sympathizes with her plight. The funniest thing, and I could never get a picture of this, was when Nate would let her have the rope, she would immediately whip in a circle with her back to him, sit and peek back over her shoulder at him. So coy, the little tease!
