Sometimes I forget how smart doxies can be, and how much they love to play and use their brain. Yesterday we decided to activate our dogs by hiding things and telling them to go find the thing that we had hidden (We used a ball and bones). Well, I figured that they would go find the ball and then just start playing with the ball, but no no. Alma wanted us to go hide the ball and and she'd go look for it over and over again. We played this game for half an hour and she did not want to stop. I was surprised she understood what it was all about and instead of playing with her favorite ball (she loves it when we throw it), she wanted to play this way.. It was amazing to see that they could understand the connection between the word "ball" and the fact that I had hidden it and she should go look for it. And once she found it, she brought it to me, sat down and WAITED with patience when I went to hide it again. Even Elsa liked the game :) 

Love my weenies!
