My Dog Plays Croquet/Soccer

Stella, my pup, loves croquet balls. We play this strange form of soccer where I will kick the ball, she chases it, pounces on it, swipes at it, then guards it. I steal it with my foot and try to fake one way then another (so I don't kick it right into her) and then with a clear shot kick it across the yard and we start all over again. She loves it and actually grins. :)
