Hello fellow hoomans: Hugo wanted me to share some more of his insights around Ball, his favourite passion. I hope you find them fun to read or even maybe useful.
Two of my husky-shepherd mixes had an ongoing rivalry over balls, especially ones with squeakers.
Huckleberry would sit under a tree, gently squeaking his squeaky ball, a blissful expression on his handsome face. Tasha would then try her best to steal the toy so she could puncture the squeaker. So, Huckleberry learned to hide them from her if she was nearby. I'd find them sequestered all over the place, still squeakable!
Hugo, there’s a very long wooden spoon on our cabinet so Dad can get the ball out without kneeling on the floor. He is 85 and has a fake knee so it’s safer, too.
Loved reading this! My Cavalier is also addicted to balls. Yesterday, on our early morning walk a dad was already out on the local tennis courts with his young son. We stopped and watched from across the street. Every time he tossed the ball to him, Addy went crazy. As far as she was concerned that ball was hers. The look in her eyes was worth a million dollars.
Thanks for sharing your brilliant wisdom Hugo! Go get your ball, give, give, FETCH!

The ball rules are very well done Hugo has a good sense of life thanks for sharing
Hugo is in tune with the reality of what makes life a smoother ride.
So wise, Hugo. So wise.
Thanks for a nice chuckle and some sage advice. 😊

Wisdom. Boop. 🩷🐾
My dog’s response:
Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!
(Translation:
My ball! My ball! Fuck you! My ball! Throw it for me! No! You can’t have it! My ball!)
So great to see Hugo again. ❤️ I’ve been away fighting facism.
Thank you Hugo and Ball 💜

For most things.... ; )

Hugo covered so many important life lessons.
Thank you, Hugo!
These sentiments are 100% endorsed by my border collie-ish companion Ranger. He also believes in the importance of Ball, usually tennis ball. 🎾
