What is it with Tennis Balls.

[Val MacQueen and Jasper]

Jasper practically has a tennis ball either in his mouth or being thrown for him to catch or chase from morning to night. The first thing he picks up in the morning is the ball. He drops it in front of the cleaner when DH is vacuuming or the mower. If your gardening it's dropped there, if you ignore him he makes little "raff Raff" noise and his mouth quivers. He has about 6 of them, we hid some of them the other day but made the mistake of leaving the bag they were in on the floor while we found something else and they were gone. He will sometimes put the one he's finished with back in his toy box and get something else but tidying up is no, he has been known to tip the box over if he can't find what he wants. He so funny though when he drops the ball in your lap and backs back almost in a hunting stance. Are there others with a one toy 'obsession'.

[Suzanne & Jack]

My Moose is toatlly obsessed with tennis balls.  He will work a ball while we're at the park until it is completely soaked in slobber.  He is very intense.  Last Christmas Jack got a hold of a smaller tennis ball and swallowed it.  I watched for it to come out for a few days and then forgot about it.  On Christmas morning Jack threw it up - whole.  Thank goodness.

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Murphy has but one purpose in life, catch balls, ANY balls. Bella can have a ball bounce off her head and she still won't notice it! Funny how they can be so different.
