I ask because Orson can't catch to save his life! Not.even.joking.
This is his four pronged attack ......
Me:
Toss toy/treat
Orson:
1. Sit with blank look on face blinking as object gets closer.
2. Object smacks into face.
3. Go find where object landed.
4. Eat food/play with object.
Once in a while he'll open his mouth, but I'm tellling you even if the object hits him squarely on the tongue he manages to NOT catch it! :rofl1: I find myself treating him like a toddler learning to play baseball. I use the softest under handed tosses I can do and STILL nothing! LOL
Now Phoebe was a different story. You were hard pressed to get something passed her..........she was a catching machine! Even in her later years when her eyes starting getting milky, she never missed a beat. If she had landed in a sporting home, she could have been onehelluva frisbee dog or something along those lines.
Family dogs growing up usually had varied skills from ok to good, but Orson's total lack of skill in this area is not only comical, I also find it sweet and something that makes him stand out in all the pets I've lived with.
So where does your dog rate on this?
