Carnival Dog?

Do you remember when we were children/teenagers and would go to the fair or carnival and play those silly games where you were supposed to throw a ball, shoot a duck, or ring a glass and win a prize? At times, Kolle must think she is at a carnival and is always looking for an opportunity to win a prize. This afternoon while we were outside, I was sitting in a lounge chair reading a book and sipping a glass of wine while Doug was throwing the tennis ball to Kolle.

He would throw and she would run after it and retrieve it.
Doug decided to take a short break and leave the ball throwing up to me. As I read, Kolle would come and drop the ball next to me and I'd pick it up every now and then and toss it out into the yard. She would bring it back and drop it next to me and I might or might not pick it up and toss it. Apparently she became very perturbed with me and walked over to where my glass of wine was and proceded to drop the ball into the wine glass.
I guess she thought she had won a prize because she got my attention and Doug's, who found another ball and continued playing toss with her. Not only did she return the ball to him, she also returned with a prize stuck to her nose...an oak leaf. Kami is trying to figure out what Kolle has.

Aww!! Look at that precious Kolle Beara. Kins is so ready to see her big gurls. She is getting her "hair and nails did" for them on Wednesday.

That will teach you to choose wine over throwing a ball!
