My little buddy loves to play.  In the morning his favorite after breakfast game is peek and chase.  When he goes galloping through the house, it sounds like someone has let a horse loose.

Midnight usually starts by running into the guest room and hiding under the bed.  That is he tries to hide under the bed.  It doesn’t work.  That’s because he usually leaves his back end sticking out with his bent and busted (in four places) tail waving like the flag in fresh breeze.  It usually leaves me laughing.

Later in the day, he’s ready to play another game.  This usually means anything involving a ping pong ball.

Ping Pong balls are fun to chase and swat

Sometimes I’ll roll the ball to him, and he swats it back.  We’ll do that three or four times, and then he gives an energetic whack and takes off chasing the ball only to swat it again and again.

As you can see, trying to capture an image of this action is doomed to failure.  At least it is when I hold the camera.  Lot of energy is expended and much laughter ensues.  This is so much fun!

Then later, we need some rest.  I’ll get a glass of water and settle into the recliner.  My little buddy loves to hop in there with me where we both have a time of rest and recovery.  I like this part of the day too.

The boys rest after the ball game

We usually have the TV on while we rest in the recliner.  Don’t ask what’s playing.  We probably can’t tell you.
