We’ve been trying to teach Derby to fetch a tennis ball. So far, he runs to ball, nudges it a bit, then runs back to us for a bit of banana chip.

Now, given his recent foray into the yard…
I realized that he has the potential to be the first ball bun at Wimbledon! With that new retractable roof, he would have protection from hawks.  He could keep the lawn trimmed and fertilized, all while being cute and/or disapproving. (Come to think of it, he’d make a great umpire, too)
