More Action Down by the Lake

While we were down by the lake on Sunday we met a few of the neighborhood dogs who seem to like to hang out there. Soren has had some bad dog experiences - they ALWAYS seem to jump all over him. And at only 30 lbs, Soren tends to get trampled pretty easily. But Moes, even though he was a big Black Lab, didn't jump on Soren at all. Soren's friendship requirements are pretty simple - as long as you don't knock him down, he's willing to be your friend. Moes quickly became Soren's good friend.
Moes' friendship requirements are similarly simple: if you are willing to throw him a stick he'll be your friend. Moes hangs out by the lake so that he has an endless supply of visitors who are willing help him out with that. In the three hours we were at the lake I think every visitor who came by threw the stick for him a few times.
He'd jump in the water and retrieve the stick and then run out and drop it at the feet of anyone who looked interested. Apparently Soren looked really interested. Check out the intensity of Moes staring at that stick!
Moes didn't really seem to mind that Soren only threw the stick about 4 feet. He'd still diligently go running after it and bring it right back.
Most people tired of the throwing game after about three tosses or so. But Moes met his match when he met Soren. I think they would both do it forever!
