Happy New Year!

Bucket Ball

We've taught Tomokee to play what we call "bucket ball". We throw the ball, he fetches it, then places into the bucket, from which we retrieve it and throw again. This is an improvement over the original game of fetch because before he would just drop the drool-laden ball into our laps, onto the kitchen table, or bounce it off our bodies before we threw it again. Now he puts it in the bucket and waits, resulting a more civilized game.

We won the bet!

We weighed Tomokee today for his two-year-old weight, and he weighed 58.2 lbs! So, Mark and Charlotte, according to the bet, you guys owe us a dinner! We went to Adobe Animal Hospital to weigh him, and they said he is not thin, just very "musclely". All those wind sprints he does while playing ball has given him a muscle butt and huge drumsticks for legs.
