I'm always up for some toss and retrieve. It's awesome to run full force down the hallway and bring the toy back to Linda so she can throw it again and again. It seems like I'm not the only dog who likes to play fetch. A man who has a 18" dog named Millie was playing a little outdoor fetch with a stick. He threw the 16-inch stick for Millie to retrieve, but it stuck in the ground like a javelin and the sprinting dog managed to effectively impale herself on it, swallowing it whole. I'm sure the poor owner about had a heart attack. He rushed Millie to the vet where emergency surgery found that the stick went down her throat and deep into her stomach....without hitting any vital organs. No Freaking Way! The were able to take it out with only a small scratch in her stomach lining. Moral of the story: Be sure your stick does not get stuck in the mud, or your name will be Mud. Here I am stuck in a boot.
