CATCH ANYONE?

We've quickly learned that Sophie is just like having another child! She even has "playdates"! Yesterday, Sophie noticed her "friends" outside playing and whined at the door until we let her outside to play. Cracks me up! Maggie, a 3 year old Golden Retriever, lives up the street and her "cousin", Miles, was visiting yesterday. Miles LOVES to play fetch! He's the fastest dog I've ever seen and will continue playing fetch, even when thoroughly exhausted, until Terry (our neighbor) decides enough is enough. Sophie LOVES chasing Miles although I don't think she's ever beaten Miles to the ball. He jumps in the air and tosses the ball further into the air before catching it and returning to Terry for more. Maggie generally sits and watches and we often wonder what she's thinking...she stares at them as if to say, "I think y'all are CRAZY wasting so much energy over a ball--now food, that would be a different story". I think the best part of playing catch with the dogs is Noah's reaction. He just laughs and laughs and ends up running with the dogs too--works out great for us because not only is Sophie worn out, so is Noah!
