The gov'nar's dogs

We live a few blocks away from the governor of our state, and Mr. 3 and I walk down my the house almost daily. The governor has 2 dogs: a retriever and a bulldog. We don't reach through the fence to pet them or anything, but we say hello to them and them walk along with us along the fence line. Today they did something different. The retreiver figured out a way of setting his ball so that it would come out of the fence and land by your feet. So today we played catch for a little bit. It was sooo cute! I wish that we could just arrange visitation rights to the dogs, then we could actually go inside the fence and play and pet them. They seem so starved for affection.
