Marianna and Coco have grown up together. From early on Coco adored Marianna and would follow her around and listen to her. Through the past three years I have taught Marianna training techniques, like saying a simple command and then offering a reward like a little treat or some praise.
Marianna and Coco had been playing ball for quite a long time. I use my garage as my studio in the warm weather months so I'd been working on a canvas and listening to them play for 20-30 minutes. When I took a break and went to watch them I got such a kick out of this game they were playing. The pulling of Coco's tail to get her to move was a technique Marianna came up with all on her own.
Coco and I had already taken a nice long walk and she had been playing ball non-stop with Marianna for quite awhile. So I think she was relieved to rest after I filmed this clip. But that tail nudge Marianna did to get Coco up to go get the ball cracked me up!
I asked Marianna and her mom, my friend Marcy, if I could film them playing and put the video on my blog and they said yes. So here it is. Cuteness!!!!!!!
