All my life, I've been able to catch even the smallest piece of flying kibble or treats from mid-air with laser accuracy.
The human could toss them straight at me, to the left, to the right, and I'd get them into my amazing German shepherd jaws.
She'd do it with popcorn, too. That's how we've spent many a rocking Friday or Saturday night together, her on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, me sitting nearby waiting to catch kernels. Sometimes she would count; I think I made it to 24 kernels in a row once. I am seriously good.
Lately I suck though.
Last night, the human created optimal catching conditions for me. Lights on, me in a sit, focused, she aimed a piece of kibble perfectly.
I missed it.
I also haven't noticed some bunnies in the dark lately. Used to be, I would go crazy before the human ever saw them. Now, even if she points them out, I look around, but eventually decide there is nothing there and the human is an idiot.
Or maybe...my eyesight is starting to fade a bit?
Crap.
