Here is an image of my 4.5 year old Welsh Terrier. Since he is the third welshie that is part of my life, I named him Phoenix after the mythical bird that is reborn from its funeral pyre. He loves to play & chasing this foot ball is one of his favorite play times. As he approaches it, he growls. Sometimes he passes the rolling ball to stop it from the front & other times he just runs over it. It is a joy to watch & shows his love of the chase.

Perfect title for this image, Andrew, and thank you for sharing. Wish we could all have such carefree lives as our adored canines!!!

Me too. He has a dog's life—eat, sleep & play.

Hi Andrew, certainly by the looks of that ball it certainly is his favourite toy, cool.

BTW, he doesn't play cricket too by any chance, seems we could do with some new blood based on current performances down under.

No to cricket. He likes to chew the bats to splinters. Also, when he gets a ball in his mouth, he plays keep away until I am too tired to run after him. At least with the foot ball I can eventually catch him.

What fun he is! Good shot, too, well focused.
