Oh My Gosh....I am howling & holding my sides!!
We have 2 doxies....and they both do this every day, for as long as you will throw the ball. Our now deceased doxie, Gretchen, was the best 2nd baseman you could ever imagine. Tom, my husband, taught her to not only fetch, but to back up across our 24' living & dining room, catch the ball after 1 bounce in the air, and run & return it to you to start the game all over again.
When the kids on our street were short a second baseman, they would come to the porch & ask if Gretchen could come & play ball, because she could jump so high & catch it mid-air....She was the best!!
Great find, just great!
