When I get excited one of my favorite things to do is play catch. My people won’t throw Frisbees in the house so when we’re inside balls work best. If I can’t find a ball one of my stuffed toys works too. I really like to play catch when my people have friends over. If I’m being ignored the best thing to do is pick up one of my balls and drop it in someone’s lap. If they don’t get the hint I get another ball and drop it in their lap. Sometimes they’re really dumb and I have to drop three or four balls in their lap.
When their lap gets too full of balls and toys they usually start tossing them away. Perfect. Now I can catch them and bring them back. It feels really good to chew on the ball a few times before I hand it back.
Sometimes people say “Eeeew” when I hand the ball back to them. I’m not sure what that means, but after they say it they usually pick up the ball with the tips of their fingers and drop it on the floor. Don’t they know that is not the best way to play catch?

If they want to get a ball out of my mouth they have to wrestle for it.

Do you like to chew on it the most? My favorite thing is to catch the ball. I have to let go or they won’t throw it for me.

Yeah, I don’t get that human aversion to balls either. Maybe we should train them better.

Those humans are so hard to train sometimes.

Lola’s favorite game is keepaway, but she does love her tennis balls!

My favorite time to play keepaway is when I escape from my yard. My people get really mad at me. -Bongo

The drop in the lap trick is a good one Bongo. I use that and it is difficult to ignore 🙂

Bassa, my people still seem to be able to ignore me sometimes. I think I need to train them better.
