Teaching an old dog new tricks?

You all know the popular clique 'can't teach an old dog new tricks.' We think there should be a follow-up to that quote...you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but he can teach you! In the last post I touched a bit on the relationship between Cain and Catherine Ellis and promised video of them playing together - I don't have video but I do have a photo montage of the two of them Saturday morning. There's something so sweet and refreshing about the two of them being big buddies....Cain's an older dog (especially in Boxer years - he'll be 7 in July)....but his spirit is like a one year old puppy...so maybe that is why the two of them are on the same wavelength much of the time.

I'll add a disclaimer that if you aren't what you'd consider 'dog folks' you probably think this is dangerous, but we are always in the room and very close by (within arm's length) and Cain is never allowed to 'let loose'. So, here goes, Enjoy!

Does this belong to you?

Mommy, look what I got!

This ball is hard to hang on to (maybe it's the slobber?)

Come get it...

Silly girl

Baby and doggie playtime

Best buds...taking a break

Look, it's Cain's ball....

I hope she throws it back here to me...

Want it?

Can't have it!

One very patient dog....
