Mono Monday: "Challenge"

Hendricks loves playing with a ball. He's got a fantastic turn of speed for chasing it across the beach, and as you can see here, he can launch himself into the air to reach it in flight. He has a bit of challenge catching it, though - for the size of him he has a very narrow mouth, and quite often he doesn't manage to get a decent grip on it first time.  

(He also finds the concept of "fetch" a bit challenging... he'll go and get the ball and bring it back, then ignore repeated requests to actually hand it over. It may be a little complex for his little brain, but given he's quite clever in many other ways I'm more inclined to put it down to the "stubborn" and "contrary" genes inherited from the saluki side of his ancestry.)
