Summer Afternoon in the Yard with the Dogs

Nothing planned today, just an afternoon out in the yard with the dogs. The golden had the red kong-on-a-rope in his mouth for most of it and wanted a tug more than a throw — he kept trotting alongside instead of letting go, which turned every game into a walk down the driveway with a dog attached.

The setter mostly stood by in the grass and watched, wet from something, panting in her red collar. She never gets as worked up about the toys as he does.

Eventually the kong got traded for a tennis ball and he ran real laps across the lawn with it. Both dogs will sleep hard tonight. So might I.
