My Creative Red

This is a video of Red and I playing. He came up with this game all by himself. He first started playing it by laying down on his side and tossing a ball against a wall with the top of his paw. The ball would bounce back, he would catch it, and then he would push it out again. He soon figured out that if he pushed it at our feet, we would pushing it back to him.
He plays another version of this game when we walk at the park. He will drop the ball at our feet right as our feet swing out and we end up kicking it. At first we thought he was trying to give us the ball to throw and kept accidentally knocking it at our feet, but then we realized that he was smarter than us! Haha.

He also understands the concept of an incline and can tire himself out by pushing a ball down a hill, chasing after it, then running back to the top of the hill with the ball and pushing it down again. He is so playful and fun.
