Sapphire's favorite ball

I have been looking for a replacement for Sapphire's favorite toy for a long time.    When I say favorite, I mean the only one she will play with.

Last Sunday, I ordered 2 balls and they came this week.  One is perfect !  Sapphire played with it three days in a row like it was THE ball !  She has been driving me crazy trying to get me to get it out so she can keep playing.  I ordered some spares today.

Playing in water

Sapphire just demanded to go out in the pouring rain.  She got into the yard, went to the corner of the house, and kept trying to catch the water coming out of the downspout !  I've seen dogs try to catch water out of a hose, but this was new to me.   Of course, now she's soaked !  I hope the gutter water tasted good.
