We went out to Wythenshawe for our walk today and took Millie's ball and throwing device (plus the new camera, naturally). The thrower is like a huge spoon that helps the mere mortal to throw a decent distance. Here's Annie, hard at work with the throwing. So these shots were taken with the telephoto, whilst Millie ran back towards us in triumph, having collected her ball.
She generally finds the ball pretty easily and runs back, tremendously pleased with herself.
On the whole though she does not think it is proper for a terrier to give the ball back to a lady afterwards. So a decent level of bribe is usually offered, if one wants to get the ball to throw again. This is usually sniffed for quality, before a decision is made about swapping ball for treat!
The picture below was actually earlier in the walk, before we arrived at the throwing field, but I've saved it for last as I think it's just gorgeous. The muddy pup, heading for her pack. lol
This line of trees is along one side of the field we do ball throwing in and you'll know the shapes just appeal to me.

We have one of those tennis ball launchers for Colt! Bentley has to see the ball or he forgets what he's running for. lol
Millie is so cute! Nice pack you got there!
The trees along the road pic is beautiful and peaceful.
Dogs and cameras make one discover so many things, huh?
Don't they just!
Yes, Millie mostly has to see the ball too - though she has become better at that, with practice.
Thanks my lovely :-)
K xxx.
Colt, on the other hand, can follow Sean's directions of left and right. I have seen this with my own eyes.
Clever dog!
I threw Millie's ball about 4 times on the field over the road today and twice she went in the wrong direction! I half suspect she does this so I'll get some more exercise going to fetch it for here, lol.
