Day 3. April 22. Having a ball

 

Kodak is ball obsessed.

The second we get to the beach he barks, begs and bothers until his ball is produced. He then carries it for the duration of the walk.

It can not be just any ball. It has to be his ball. The pet shop where we buy dog toys stocks two colour combinations of the small spiked balls preferred by my dogs. One is orange and pink the other green and blue. Although dogs are supposedly colour blind, Kodak has decided green and blue is the way to go and he won't be told otherwise.

Being an entire male, there are other balls he is attached to ... at least until tomorrow. He is booked for the procedure in the morning. That will mean the cone of shame and keeping him quiet during recovery so today required a big long run on the beach to shake his wiggles out. As soon as he is able, he'll be back at the beach with his favourite blue and green spiked ball.
