Play Ball!

 


Tillie and Red catching the orb 12-2-24


    As noted in my other blog, icy snow from the last two weeks disappeared after serious rain and wind yesterday. Red this moment just insisted that I take him outside in the Brisk for a game of ballie-ballie.   Brrrr! I wasn’t dressed warmly, but he didn’t object. He may have been guilting me: two or three weeks of snow on the ground but no snowball ballie-ballie.  I did remind us both that I acquired a dog this time partly to insure daily exercise.  He’s no nag, but he holds me to it.

      I won’t post a link but will recommend to dog-lovers a YouTube short (more than one, actually), Dogs Choose Their Owners, Class of December, 2025. Can’t tell you where this placement program is conducted, but the video sure tugged my heartstrings.

     For another species of ballgame, ‘tis the season of football playoffs, so our TV may be overheating.  It’s just too darned exciting this year, college and pro.  In a different court, my Maineiac husband A is thrilled to track the progress of homeboy Cooper Flagg in hoops, who undeniably shows a streak of Phenom.
