DOGgerel: In praise of the tennis ball
Love-Love
While many players chase them
Sharapova, Nadal, et al …
None, I think, are as enthralled
As dog with tennis ball
(From time to time I have an argument with the poet within me. “I want to come out,” the poet within will say. “No,” I tell him. “Stay where you are, because you’re not that good.”
(Sometimes, the poet within wins. To read all his verse, click on the logo to the left.)

The Haley-Bear has absolutely ZERO interest in tennis balls, even the little ones (or anything else related to the game of “fetch” for that matter). On the other hand, the photo of the Golden sleeping with his/her beloved ball is worth at least a million words.
One of my doggie pals is a Golden Retriever named “Bentley” who regularly travels with as many as three in his mouth.

Adendum:
I guess that’s why they aren’t called “Pomeranian Retrievers” :>)

Love that verse! I’m sure all dog lovers can very well relate their experience with a tennis ball. They just go gaga over that yellow ball, don’t they?
