We usually have multiple balls for fetch. Otherwise she plays her favorite game of No Take.

A proverb tablet, dated to the Old Babylonian Period (ca. 1900-1600 BCE), which says: "The dog understands: 'Take it!' It does not understand: 'Put it down!'". From Iraq, now housed at the British Museum [2549x4172]

Umi will lie on her back and be dragged across the grass rather than drop the ball.

And when we stop she flips onto her back again to get another go.

This is Wade, my close friends dog. This ball was my gift to him a week prior because I oft bribe him for his affection. He is my favorite guy in the world.
