riley's a ball hog though i don't think hogs are ever ball hogs but maybe pet hogs are. this time i see riley coming i know i'm trained to hide the ball and stop the game before riley does but i don't, i get little bear jumping for it. riley's paw says riley i don't want you jumping, yer too old, and i think riley knows. there was a shift when riley's paw asked me if i wanted to do some walks for ten bones and i said twenty under his raised eyebrows. riley did get the ball and no surrender til riley's paw said i hope you're not expecting to get the ball back and i said yes, i am, though i don't think i can get it myself, but i'm sure you can, and he did, and left forthwith.
