When Daddy is at work, Champ is the newest contestant in the race.
It also becomes a game of strategy -
and hide and seek.
Poor Champ!
Whether we like it or not.
Headlock or hug? Hard to tell.
After many years...Champ has certainly earned his name! 
Sometimes all you need is a good laugh.
Reed loves to watch Champ run around in our back yard - poor dog, he is basically exercising himself.
(Please no comments on the snotty nose and dirty window!)
My Mommy and Daddy think this is hilarious...and so of course, I just keep doing it!
(Don't mind mommy's raspy voice -- it's just yet another part of the holiday season!)
Here's a shot of me trying to get Champ to play ball...it's as if I am saying, "Hellooo?? Anyone in there?!"
Finally! Except that he's not really 'sharing' now is he??
And in the end I decide to just give him whatever he wants!
Where there's a ball...there's Champ.
He is always right by my side 'helping' out.
After many attempts...I am beat!
Now, THAT'S the spirit Champ!
And we are BOTH learning to share...
Reed has been working so hard on mastering 'self-feeding'. Of course there are always obstacles along the way.
I think this video sums it up...
