We got home this afternoon from a few days in Charleston, SC.

Riley was happy to be home from the kennel and ready to play. But I was at the store.

He brought his ball over to M, who tossed it for a while, but then M. got busy on conference calls.

Riley then brought his ball over to Puddin’ and dropped it in front of her.

No response. (Puddin’ does not play. And she certainly can not throw a ball.)

Riley didn’t understand that. So he dropped it closer to her.

Then he barked.

No response.

Bark bark bark! (“Throw the ball and play!”)

Still nothing.

He finally gave up. Poor baby!
