Every day Zinnia and I go outside (except in snow or pouring rain), and I throw the ball for her in the pasture. I do this for half an hour or so, and the pasture is pretty long so she gets a good workout.

Zinnia can run surprisingly fast, and she has a lot of stamina for a big dog. We both love to do this, and the image of her running so eagerly and happily through this open pasture is always calming and uplifting for me. Dogs are easy to please, actually, and it is a pleasure to please them.
