Today was action packed into a very short period of time. Action was not on the agenda, especially for Marshal after yesterday's romping with Martha.
And yet, Big Boy seemed ready for anything today, and I let him do as he pleased. Does this make me a bad parent? Probably, because I am supposed to know better.
8:05am and M is looking for the kong (that's Beanie behind him, perhaps sitting in order to consolidate body temperature)
2:30pm and Ansel leads us out into the south lawn.
It appears Paisle is not yet ready to play.
And yet all Big Boy has to do is steal the kong, and the chase is on!
2:32pm In just 2 minutes, the pups have gone from walking, sniffing, stretching, to acrobatic ballet. I think this might be my new all-time favorite photo of Marshal and Paisle, though on a small screen it is very hard to see the Bean. I encourage anyone reading to click on the photo to see how the two pups are going opposite directions, in almost perfect synchronization (with the kong in the middle, of course). 
2:36pm Just four minutes later, M appears to be winding down.
2:37pm Looks, of course, can be deceiving.
2:38pm (the kong is that dark lump near Paisle's back feet)
2:39pm
2:46pm M does not follow Paisle as she takes off for a few rotations.
2:46 (again) Marshal looks on in disbelief as Paisle, his girlfriend, charges Ansel with the kong, instead of him!
2:46 (still) Looking to catch up, Marshal hurries over, only to be intercepted by Ansel.
2:46 (...) Now who is chasing whom?
2:47pm As the boys bump and run, Beanie enters the frame (still, as ever, with kong).
2:47pm (again) Is Marshal herding Ansel?
2:47pm (sigh) C'mon Ansel, play with me?
2:47 (still) PLAY...WITH...ME...!!!
2:47 (...) Everyone together, the Crew seems to reach consensus, that play time is over.
And Beanie still has the kong....
