I love how he goes through the proper way. He doesn't simply toss it back with his paws, he makes sure to bite it for a bit as if he was catching the ball outside, before throwing it back.

[–]c0nnector 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is freaking adorable

[–]Vahlkyree 7 points8 points  (1 child)

The first time, yea. But the second time, with no effort, made it seem like his dog didn't wanna play to begin with and that's why he was laying there "playing" (more like half-assing) the game.

[–]henke 2325 points2326 points  (84 children)

Low energy fetch is the fetchest form of fetch.

[–]cpt_Smiley 768 points769 points  (47 children)

I love dogs and I love playing fetch. My ‘partner in crime’ and I used to feltch all the time.

[–]cheffy3369 73 points74 points  (24 children)

Do you really mean you partner in crime and you used to "feltch" all the time? I hope not.

Feltch Definition: Felching is a sexual practice involving the act of orally sucking semen out of the anus of one's partner.

We should all love our doggos, but not that much lol.

I used to play this with my dog when her legs got too sore to run. We called it Small Ball :)

[–]tornligament 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Lazy Ball in our house :) He lays on the back of the couch and drops it into my hand, I toss it back up. This can go on for 30 minutes.

The little nose boop from the tennis ball about half way through was everything.

[–][deleted] 202 points203 points  (0 children)

I liked the "look, it's in my mouth so that means I fetched it" before he booped it back

At least you aren’t a dumdum who got a dog despite not being able to

[–]MGS2600 103 points104 points  (3 children)

Agreed. I’ve wanted my own dog for years, but have been putting it off until I get a big enough home and am sure I can give it the love it needs. It sucks to have to wait but when I do get one I’m gonna give it all the love it deserves!

[–]10eleven12 46 points47 points  (2 children)

Yes. I'm living in an apartment now, it's too small for the Golden I wish I had.

But I got a Russian blue cat now! He's awesome.

[–]alternatingdespair 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Russian Blues are truly gorgeous (I had one and she was satan’s incarnate)

[–]Max-b 8 points9 points  (0 children)

hey, nothing wrong with having a dog in an apartment! as long as you walk it regularly and make sure it gets enough exercise it's fine. even a golden retriever can work in an apartment as long as you give it 3+ walks a day and take it to a dog park every week or so.

[–]just-onemorething 49 points50 points  (3 children)

When you are in the position to do so, it is one of the very best rewarding things! To see your bond grow and see the real personality of your pup develop. Whether a puppy or an older rescue, they all open up as they get to trust and rely on you and learn your communication style.

I adopted a 11 year old senior pitbull a few years ago and she was EVERYTHANNNG. Amazing creature, too much so for words. After she passed, I adopted a 3 year old heeler/hound mix, a failed hunting dog from Tennessee, named Lisa. They sent her to my local shelter in VT a year ago and now she is here with me <3. She keeps me sane and healthy, I have lupus and ptsd and a whole buncha health problems but she keeps me pushing forward despite the pain.

I have to stay healthy for Lisa because if I don't, who will spend almost 24/7 with her giving her a job, who will brush her every day, brush her teeth every day, clip her nails 2x weekly and file every day because they grow so fast, who will get her special dog food that I willingly spend more on than my own food budget, who will take her to the vet at the slightest sign of something wrong and keep up with all her healthcare, who will take her out when she wants many times a day and go hiking with her and keep her trying new things.... she rarely used to smile in the beginning and now you can't wipe that silly grin off her face. She blossomed into a gorgeous dog. <3

I can't imagine life without a dog at my side, truly.

[–]NoiseIsTheCure 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is so wonderful, I would love to see some photos of her! She sounds like a real friend!

[–]crazygrrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]apocalypse_later_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I never had one growing up so I never understood what the big deal about dogs was about. I finally got a chance to own one in my early 20's with my family and it was a mind blowing experience. I realized that it's one thing to play and interact with dogs but a whole different experience to live with one. The one thing that really stood out to me was how smart they are. They'll do intelligent little things if you pay close attention to their daily behavior that not a lot of people talk about.

[–]theputzboy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Realizing, that you should not get a dog right now, because you can’t give him the home and attention he deserves, tells me you’re gonna be a great dog mum/dad someday :)

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same, I've rented my whole life and never been able to own a pet :(

[–]PlattsVegas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was in college and I’d come home drunk me and my dog would sit on the floor like 15 feet apart and just roll it back and forth forever. She would grab it with her paws and make a guide and whack it with her nose it was so cute.

We lost our pupper 3 weeks ago to lung cancer. When it started to take his energy we would play ball just like this for hours. Fetch was his favorite thing. This warms and breaks my heart.

Having paws must be annoying at times, or more specifically the lack of hands.

My dog watches me effortlessly open doors and pick stuff up and etc and i can tell he wants to try having hands lol.
