Yes, I DID get her ball after a few good minutes of video. I mean, how long could YOU listen to that?!
Creek is the only dog in the house (there are 4) that hasn't learned to keep her toys AWAY from the edge of the couch, yet she is the darned smartest dog I know, which leads me to believe that she does this on purpose. Honestly, I think she loves to whine just as much (if not more) than actually playing with the toy! And I definitely humor her quite often, because she gets so worked up and she sounds so funny
But I do always end up getting her ball, because she WOULD go on for hours, literally! Caney on the other hand has an attention span of about 20 seconds.

The name Creek was my boyfriend's idea. He got Creek when he was attending college in the North Carolina mountains (we have been together 3 years; Creek is almost 7 years old now). He was quite the outdoorsman back then, and he knew that his new pup would be going everywhere with him. He said the first time he took her on a kayaking excursion, he left her on the bank with some friends while he went to "play" in his boat, but she cried until she finally went in after him! No more than 12 weeks old, she swam about 20 feet out to his boat! He fished her out and set her right in his lap with her front legs hanging over the front of the kayak, and she went along for the ride (no serious rapids, I assume).
So she got the name "Creek Dog."
Pretty neat, huh?
, he has to stick his head under there as well to make sure i'm getting it. So I usually come back up with dog slopper on my face as well.
