Play ball!

Once again demonstrating their special relationship, our original baby girl patiently allowed her replacement baby girl to throw tennis balls for her. Over and over again. It wasn't so much a game of fetch, as it was an exercise for Maggie in blocking the ball, because she usually could grab it in one bounce. What's amazing is how Maggie, who locks her jaw and turns deaf when I ask her to drop or leave the ball, would drop the ball and nudge it over for Sydney to grab.

For a while, they had three balls going. That slowed the game down a lot, because Sydney only wanted to throw the ball from the chair. That meant climbing down, retrieving the balls from the retriever, and then climbing back into the chair to start the process again.

I guess she's not a southpaw.
