Extra super bouncy!

Today I played with my new black and white ball.

My new black and white ball was extra super bouncy. When Ann threw it for me it bounced ever such a lot and I had to jump ever so high to catch it.

And then do you know what happened?.......................................

………………….I’d been playing for almost an hour and I was getting a bit tired…………. when Ann threw it into the river. I had to dive in and swim to retrieve it. I’m very good at retrieving balls from the river.

But because I was a bit tired, as soon as I got it, I opened my mouth to yawn and guess what? The ball fell out of my mouth and went sailing down the river into some water weeds.

I searched and I searched and I searched for my new extra super bouncy ball. Normally I’m really good at sniffing it out if it goes into the undergrowth and I was so, so upset. I didn’t want to come out of the river because Ann has taught me to look after my toys and she gets really angry with me if I lose things.

However, today she said, ‘Molly, let’s go home. It’s not your fault that it’s lost. I shouldn’t have made you go swimming for it when you were so tired. I’ve got another two new bouncy balls for you in the car so the next time we go out you can play with one of those.’

I think Ann sometimes forgets that I’m almost 10 years old and not as super speedy as I used to be. But I was really happy that she wasn’t blaming me for losing it.

We went to ‘Morrison’s’ before we came home. Obviously I had to wait in the car because have you ever seen a gorgeous little collie in Morrisons? and when Ann came back she said, ‘Molly, you absolutely stink. It’s obvious you’ve spent a lot of time in the river this afternoon.’

I know that Ann loves me even when I’m stinky but to show just what a considerate little collie I am……………………. I’ve gone out onto the sun terrace to snooze so that Ann doesn’t have to breathe in my stinkiness!!!!

Playing with an extra super bouncy ball was really good fun. But it has made me extremely tired!!!!
