Fetch

Alias is an amazingly talented fetcher. He had a favorite toy mouse that we played fetch with many nights the last few years. I always put it away after we were done so we wouldn’t lose it. Then because I rarely accessed where I put the toy mouse, we stopped playing (plus Norma and Kenta started to get in Alias’ way to fetch the thrown mouse). 

Alias found this red mouse in the toy box that is the same size as his other favorite mouse. He brought over to me last night and we played fetch for 10 minutes and fetch later again in the evening, and fetch later again right before bedtime. I woke up early in the morning to the sight of Alias with his toy mouse in mouth as he dropped it by my pillow. I was too tired to play so I put it underneath my pillow.

The next day I asked Alias where his toy mouse was forgetting where I put it. I told him I hoped he hadn’t lost it. And then yesterday I found the toy mouse under my pillow. My bad. I shouldn’t have blamed Alias. And we had another fun evening/night playing fetch.
