Like fetch, but not

The following video is proof that Chino can be more than just a lazy mutt. He still has a streak of puppy, buried deep inside. It comes out once in awhile and when it does, its always good for a laugh. I was playing with him and Nick grabbed the camera to capture the silliness and to give me something to blog about. Its ironic that the way I'm playing "fetch" with Chino is the way Chino plays fetch with us. Its a little backwards, but gets the job done. In Chino's version of fetch - we throw the toy, chase him, grab the toy and repeat.  I suppose that this is good, since we all get a little bit of exercise.   In my version, I had originally planned to use our open floor plan to my advantage - whipping the gator across the kitchen for Chino to grab and bring back (he plays fetch properly in the house, go figure).  But, in my attempt to defy the laws of canine self control, I tried to make him sit before I threw his gator, so the gator would be his reward for being a good boy. Before I knew it, we were playing fetch and I wasn't the one chasing the toy. Go figure.
