Our little soccer player

We'd heard that Sydney used to be a big soccer player. Today I confirmed that she still is. I took her out in the back yard with the soccerball, and she started chasing after it barking her head off. I ran her back and forth for about ten minutes and she loved it. She'll head-butt and paw the ball if you leave it for her. She got momentarily distracted having a frank exchange of ideas with the dogs on the other side of the back fence, but nothing could keep her from playing soccer. I was wiped out after about ten minutes, but she looked ready to play the full 90. She clearly had an amazing amount of fun. So did I, for that matter. We'll try to get some pictures or video soon....
