Toss the Ball

Outside I love to play Frisbee, but my Frisbee isn’t allowed inside the house. I don’t know why. My person says it might break something, but how much damage can a piece of plastic make?

At least my person lets me have some toys in the house. I have some soft balls and sometimes when I bring them to someone they’ll toss them so I can catch them. Usually I bring them to whoever is closest. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn’t.

Well, the other day Scratchy was closest so I brought him my ball and dropped it at his feet. He just looked at it. He didn’t toss it for me. He didn’t even bat it back to me. He could have at least done that.

Come on, Scratchy. Pick that ball up in your little paws and throw it to me. I know you can do it.

Ball No More

03 Jan

Last night I was in a chewing mood, and I started chewing on one of my new balls. There’s something about those balls – I just love the smell of them. I was chewing away, having a good time when my person looked over at what I was doing. She noticed that about half my ball was missing. Gone! Vamoose!

Yeah? So? I’m having fun chewing it up person.

You know what she did? You know what my person did!? She took that ball away from me and she threw it in the garbage. In the garbage, mind you. That was a perfectly good half ball and I still had a lot of chewing to do.

I’ll fix her. My person’s not going to stop me that easily. I found the bag with the rest of the balls in it. They’re my balls after all. It wasn’t easy, but I got one out of there.

And I chewed that one up too.

Indoor Catch

16 Nov

I love catching balls, and my person has given me some soft balls that I can play catch with in the house. When I want to play catch I’ll bring a ball to my person and if I’m lucky she’ll toss it in the air for me.

I’m really good at catching the balls she tosses. Once I catch it I make sure to get it good and slobbery before handing it back for her to toss it to me again. Something about a good slobbery ball makes it really fun to play catch.

Sometimes my person makes a funny toss and I miss catching the ball. It will bounce off my nose and go flying. Usually that’s the end of the game. My person is afraid something will get broken. I keep bringing the ball back to her, but she ignores me.

Sometimes though, when the ball goes flying the game ends for a different reason.

Would somebody please get my ball for me?

Let’s Play Catch!

08 Sep

She's gotta throw one of these.

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?
