For crying out loud Henry, throw the flippin’ ball NOW!

It does if your master is a dweeb, dork, nerd!

That’s why you start refusing to give him the ball back!

It’s pretty arrogant of them to call themselves the WORLD series when they have only seventy thousand fans watching. Shouldn’t they have at least 500,000 fans to be classed with the adjective World? Why even the Super Bowl claimed one billion fans watching worldwide.

Waiting so long for every throw takes the fun away.

“Well? We’re waiting!” Judge Smails in Caddyshack (1980).

Kneeling during our national anthem……….no word to express the hurt and anger we feel.

with the exception of one team from canada, it isn’t a world series, its a USA series.

I used to see a man in the park with a standard poodle. It was an off leash time, and the man had one of those throwing sticks with a tennis ball. Instead of throwing the ball right away, he would cock his arm, and then wait, and wait before throwing. Meanwhile, the dog was barking like mad. Finally, the dog got tired of waiting, raced around behind the man, jumped straight up about seven feet, took the ball out of the cup, raced around in front of the man, dropped it at the man’s feet, backed up, and barked at him.

Louie isn’t nearly that athletic, he’s going to have to think of something else.

Something tells me it’s another Wild Pitch coming…

As I understand it, the thing dogs hate, the absolute most, is the delayed or faked throw when playing dog-ball. They also, according to the main dog in my life, have an acute sense of (un)fairness…………especially regarding treats. Ted, the dog living with me, swears both these claims are true.

Henry, just throw the ball. Good evening, Crew!

Hey—in cases like this, when the suspense builds, the end result can be that much more satisfying …

Good Evening, Crew.
