(chucklng) Your post reminded me of that scene in Sea Biscuit where they put a sheep or lamb kind of animal in the stall to calm the horse and it came flying back.
Lightning loves to play with his "apple" that we got him. He picks it up and throws it accross the field, then chases it and moves it around with his feet, our australian shepherd is very good at playing soccer too! We almost have our own team, but the chickens are useless!
BTW I have posted a photo of James and myself on my homepage, as lots of people like to know who they are talking too!
