Annie and her big stick

For the past week, Annie has been on limited exercise since she strained her back knee.  She's an active dog so all I could do was walk her three times a day to keep her from tearing the house apart.  She really misses chasing her sticks and tennis balls. On our walks, she will try and pick up any stick she can reach while on her leash.  This morning when I let her off to do her business, she grab the biggest stick (which was a branch) she could find and started to run with it.  She so wanted me to throw it and almost took out my knees.  Annie ran the whole length of the trail dragging that thing behind her. It was funny when people who are normally afraid of big dogs just laughed when she ran by dragging that branch behind her.
