Simple Pleasures

The sun was shining yesterday so we decided to take Jersey out for some much needed exercise. We brought along her favorite sibling, Zuess, who definitely was excited to get away from the devil cat that has invaded his home. So we took Jersey to PetCo where we purchased her first Chuckit! toy. We graded her a C- for her behavior at PetCo. She just can't stay calm when there is a perfectly good puppy to wrestle! But, alas, with Chuckit! in hand, we picked up Zuess and headed to Cherry Hill where we fully intended on exhausting the dogs.

I must say, if I were a dog, that Chuckit! toy would be my most favorite thing ever. Even as a human, it ranks towards the top of my favorite things list. Since our dogs don't exactly have the best sight or smell, the Chuckit! certainly sent them in fits of bewilderment as it "chucked" the ball way farther than they expected. More than once, we actually had to find it for them, and they looked at us like, "how the heck did you throw it so far?" Pure awesomeness. Jersey definitely has a competitive streak in her, as every time Zuess got to the ball first, she threw a fit and proceeded to steal it right from his mouth. You'd think big brother would fight back, but since my parents cut his man-parts off, he's pretty much the biggest baby ever.

I beg you to click to view this picture at full-size. It is a laugh out loud moment.

Needless to say, our evil plan to knock the dogs out worked quite well. Jersey crawled up in a ball in the car and barely noticed when we drove through McDonald's and ordered her favorite meal. It was perfect since we were heading to Spokane for the night for the Ingrid Michaelson and Joshua Radin concert at the Big Easy. Sleepy dog = no chewing up Grant's art supplies. Phew.

When I get pictures from the concert uploaded, I shall report!
