Rest and play

I love the dogs capacity for rest and play. Saffie and Goldie so adore playing together. I throw their favourite toy, a squeaky rugby ball and they surge after it, so excited and full of glee. Saffie pounces on it first and runs away with Goldie chasing her. they run at top speed up and down the lounge and kitchen and then Goldie drops panting on the lounge floor. Saffie still has the ball in her mouth and starts to circle round Goldie provocatively dangling the ball just above his nose! He rolls over onto his back and then lumges again and this time manages to catch it. Lying upside down, all his paws waving in the air, he looks daft and even dafter when Saffie proceeds to then pull him around in a circle , backwards, around and over they go and then Goldie returns the compliment and drags Saffie in his turn. They play like this intensely enjoying it and going at it full tilt, then just as suddenly break apart, lie wodn and go to sleep! They sleep without a care in the world, Pennie too who has cancer and has us watching her and agonising over if she is still well enough, she is not bothered in herself at all. She is just relaxed, loving to sleep, to play, to be loved
