Fetch

Todd is always amazed... and generally slightly amused by how exact Em will mimic our actions. Last night after dinner was a prime example. Lani (almost one and a half years old now) is still working on some basic things, like "sit" or "stay" when there is a ball involved. Em is getting to be quite proficient at ordering others around. In theory, the dog drops the ball when Em tells her, then sits until it is thrown. Em, however, likes to remind her of the sitting and make sure that Lani is in the upright and fully "seated" position before she releases the ball. There have been times when the poor dog had to wait a loooooong time for that ball!
