That's such a cute photo of Buster! he looks like he is guarding his soccer ball!
Both T and F LOVE playing with balls. Lately, every night after dinner, we three will play with their Varsity ball and the Jolly ball. We play "keep away" and chase a lot.
Ftse loves to play balls but doesn't like anyone else touch them he will walk away from it and as soon as you walk near it he runs and covers it and its a hard job getting it of him.
Charley considers any small toy, including black rubber Kongs, to be a ball. Loves to run and get them. Whether or not he will give them to us to throw again without a quick tug is iffy.
