Fishing for Maggie

Winter in Wisconsin. There's no fishing except thru holes in the ice, and Maggie and Scout get really restless. A couple years ago Andy started this winter game with the girls, and now Maggie is addicted. She will go to the closet where Andy keeps the fishing pole and stare at it intently, and then look longingly at her Pop.

So, the game is basically, a moose-ball (tennis ball with moose skin) is tied to a fishing pole. Andy will cast it out into the yard and the girls will chase it. He'll also spin it around in a circle, on the deck or in the livingroom, and they'll give chase. When we first started the game Scout would chase until she was dizzy! Too bad we didn't have video back then!!
