My ball!

Some of you may know what this ball is. For those of you who don't, it has a hole in it and the idea is to put some treats in it and the dog then rolls it around to get the treats to fall out.
Well, my other ridgie Tessa, is really good at getting the treats to fall out. She has developed a strategy and has the perseverance to keep at it to the very end. She then usually proceeds to steal Zuri's ball from her because Zuri just doesn't have the same luck or whatever it takes to make it work as well as Tessa.

But that one night, Zuri decided that NO! Tessa was not going to steal the ball from her. She was just going to lie there protecting the ball even though she knew that there were still treats in it. Occasionally she would nudge it so that it would almost fall off the futon but then she would save it from falling with her paw. It was quite funny to watch.
