Overboard by Chip Dunham for May 16, 2016

“Who says they are under the bed?”

They wear out… so you have to have spares. It seemed as if Jack couldn’t stand them to be not perfect.

If there was a thread loose he would demolish the ball trying to remove that thread.

When he was younger he used to pop them in his jaws as he returned them.

As he got a little older he seemed to get a little more control and didn’t pop them as often… but when a bit of the fur stood out more than the rest… it was curtains for that ball and it was into the “stash” for me to get a replacement.

There is no such thing as too many,

Good morning, Crew!

Dogs will be dogs, even beautiful Louie!!!

Good Morning Crew,Pirate dogs have a certain code of Honor !Have a GREAT DAY MATIE’S

“Tennis balls matter.”

Good morning Crew!

Good morning crew.

The local tennis players hit them out of the court when they no longer bounce correctly. My dog and I would walk around, looking for feral tennis balls. I donated the box of balls to the local shelter, in his honor, after he passed.

I know it’s not considered mature to ascribe human traits to inanimate objects, but I’d far rather feel sorry for a tennis ball, and sympathize with the dog yearning for it, than be that “mature.” So thank you once again, Chip, for your kind heart. How needed it is!

my last dog would happily chase a tennis ball as long as you cared to throw it, but leave him alone with it for 5 minutes, and it would be in pieces.

Well, how thoughtful, Louie.

Good Evening, Crew.

Good night crew.
