Easily Amused
I admit it. I am. But times are hard and you take your laughs where
you can find them. So Dear Daughter and her beau were over for dinner and were out back on the trampoline, much to Zane's delight. Zane is our big male border collie. He has a tennis ball fetish. And a trampoline fetish. His favorite thing in the whole world (apart from flyball) is seeing my daughter put her headphones on and roll up her jeans. This means she's going out to jump on the trampoline, which means he can jump with her, and bring her tennis balls, which she kicks or throws for him to retrieve. The presence of Boyfriend adds a new dimension to the game. The pair of them throw the tennis balls at each other as they bounce, in what I can only interpret as some sort of bizarre courtship ritual, and Zane retrieves them after the ricochet. I consider Boyfriend either foolish or in love because there's no way anybody with an ounce of common sense would allow DD to peg a tennis ball at them at short range. The girl has a hell of an arm on her, and dead accurate aim. And sure enough, she hit him in the eye with one. Inside, I dug in the freezer for a package of frozen peas to apply to the emerging shiner. Only, I didn't realize there was a split in the plastic bag and as I was getting it out, a handful of frozen peas spilled and bounced all over the kitchen floor. It was funny enough to watch Scully scrambling around the kitchen, scarfing up individual frozen peas. Seriously, what kind of border collie is mad for frozen peas? But when Dear Daughter added in PacMan sound effects... "WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA"... It ranks right up there with the whole "peanut butter on the roof of the mouth" thing. |

All my dogs like frozen peas. For entertainment value (and more than a few minutes of peace and quiet for me), I'll scatter some across the lawn. Rocky, especially, will spend a lot of time hunting every single one. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |
