No rest for me

So I'm sitting in a chair in the backyard, enjoying doing nothing at all and here she comes, ball in mouth:

She drops the ball on the seat of the chair next to me, watches it drop to the ground and waits. (Those are drool spots on the chair and the ground.) 

If I don't reach over the side, pick up the ball and throw it quickly enough for her, she moves in closer, pushes her nose against me and stands there STARING at me from under the arm of the chair!

I find her hard to resist!
