The Ball Hound
April 26th, 2009
Of course, you know that Scruffy was a pack leader and had little time for what he considered mindless pursuits such as playing fetch. Charlie, on the other hand has no aspirations of pack leadership and loves to play ball. Ruby is a hound. She says hounds do not play ball – only retrievers do. Anyway, if you play the video, you will see that she eventually convinces Charlie that rolling in the grass on a particualrly good smelling spot ( I guess) is more fun than silly ball playing.

Charlie is a great Dog. I do have to admit that he is scared of everything, even hamsters!!! That is a funny memory. He would always let Nikki beat him, when ever they would play fight. The only time he would would win was when we growled as they were both playing. We would also tell Charlie to”get her” when we noticed that Nikki was winning: that would get Charlie very hyper as well. You would be surprised how strong Charlie is.
