A Stunning Achievement

This will be brief as I have no photos to prove it... Y'all know how I'm always amazed by my dog (taking joy in simple things is healthy, I swear). He seems to learn new things every day, like what the sound of the chicken jerkey bag means, or how to actually have two objects occupy the same space. This weekend, Bear learned how to jump up and catch a disc in the air. Yep, that's right... three legged frisbee dog. This would not be so entertaining if he was, say, a border collie or an australian shepherd. But because he is a furry yeti of a golden chow mutt with very little grace or ability to land on anything but his face, it is both funny and amazing. Don't call SPCA yet... we only play on the grass and he only landed on his head once or twice. But man, the joy and satisfaction when he catches it... sweet. I'm sure he feels good about it too.
