Not a video

So. Remember how I said I think Darby follows my hand and voice signals when she is trying to find a tennis ball--kind of like the "you're getting warmer" game? And, you know how I said I would try to get a video of it? Well, I haven't managed a video yet (I don't want to bug Glenn while we are in the middle of Pumpkin negotiations) but I did manage to get these photos that I think somewhat illustrate what Leda assures me is Darby's herding instincts on display.

See the ball near the top of the photo, to the right of Darby and almost straight up from Bonnie?  Good for you!;  Darby doesn't see it!   She is starting a zig-zag run around the yard.

 In this next photo,  I have said "Get that ball!" which makes her look at me.  I pointed my finger and she has zagged and is running to the left (the ball is off to her right side.)

Here, I have said "No!" at which point she did an about-face and ended up right on top of the ball!

And, here she is running back to me with the ball in her mouth!

Isn't she smart?!
