Bumper Love

My four month old puppy Flip had his first experience with a bumper tonight. We just did a few fun retrieves in the living room. What surprised me was how much he loved the bumper! I put it away in a basket after we were done with it, and he keeps running to the basket and trying to get the bumper out. Of course he loves to retrieve anything, but I've never had him try to get a particular toy back once I've put it up, he just finds something else to play with.

It's a nice change from Conner, who, despite going crazy for ducks, thinks bumpers are totally stupid. He did learn to enjoy going after them a little after force fetch, but over all he just considers them a dumb piece of plastic.
