They're mine!

I took the dog out for a walk today and he found a stick. He picked it up and was quite proud of himself. Then I found a blue tennis ball. He thought for a minute and then picked up the tennis ball without dropping the stick. He walked happily all they way back home with them. The stick was removed from his possession (before he tried to eat it or damage himself with it) and the tennis ball lasted all of 33 seconds before his strong jaws had it in bits. I think he enjoyed his walk today!
