Pushing boundaries

[erastes]

Sasha shows just how clever (and naughty) she can be. Twice she’s done this trick with me, and the first time I thought she was being dense, but I should know better.

When we got back from the beach this morning, she dropped her ball by the beach entrance I said “Go and get your ball, please” (this will produce the required result 100 per cent of the time) but she absolutely refused to go and get it. She kept running up to it, then wandering around, coming back to the car, coming back to the ball, wandering a little further off…and so on.

I realised today that she was doing it deliberately because if she didn’t get the ball we wouldn’t go home! She really is like a naughty child who doesn’t want playtime to end!
