now that I've had my coffee and am more awake I guess I should explain that this statement took me back 25 years ago when we had a Lab that could do the same thing only it got out in the back yard during a small garden birthday that we were hosting and ran rampant through the yard and destroyed the food table, cake and all.....it was such a mess and it made the local town newspaper (town of about 7500) only it was written up something to the fact that "the Hartman family dog throws his balls into the air amusing friends at birthday party." And WE NEVER LIVED IT DOWN. Again, Audrey, thanks for the memory and the laugh.
