My Name is Alfie and I’m a Ballaholic – Now Stop Teasing Me!

by Alfie Entlebucher on May 28, 2012

Monday Mischief Bloghop!

Hello and welcome to another week of Monday Mischief. This week I’d like to cover an important subject – ball addiction.

My name is Alfie and I am a ballaholic. There, its out in the open – I feel better already. *waggy tail*

It all started when I was a puppy and I started to fetch them, chew them and carry them around the house – now I just love the buzz of being around them. My mother Queenie is a ballaholic too, and she taught me its a dog’s duty to fetch that ball nomatter what stands in our way. I think my siblings feel the same way too.

My humans say my addiction makes training easier - I would do anything to get my paws on my favourite hol-ee roller ball!

Luckily I’m a dog, so I won’t need therapy just yet *waggy tail*

Where’s the Mischief?

So, this is all interesting, but where’s the mischief I hear you ask. I’ll show you mischief alright – check out this video – is my human doing mischief teasing me or what?

Alfie, I think our people are more full of mischief than us dogs. Maybe they should have a Monday Mischief Blog Hop for people.

It’s so hard not to play with a ball when it’s right there, isn’t it?

My Lab cousin Lena is addicted to her tennis balls too. My sis and I don’t get it as we don’t have much interest in balls at all. It is good for you, though, gives you some focus in life. Emma

Apparently I’ve been staring at the ball too much so my humans now hide it inbeteeen play sessions *waggy tail*

Oh, you poor thing Alfie! Us humans can be so cruel sometimes and I do hate to say it but yeah, you’ve got a problem buddy. Maybe you need to go to ballaholics anonymous. Although I do think your human needs to go to some counselling too as they are being an enabler! LOL!

Alfie Entlebucher May 29, 2012 at 23:45

I’ll book some counselling for the whole pack right away *waggy tail*

I love your neologism — ballaholic. It makes me feel like dancing :)

I hope you don’t mind me telling you, I was laughing out soooo hard because of the dance steps you were showing us. I bet having a theme song added to it would’ve made it a great music video. LOL.

Huggies and Cheese,

Hi Alfi
Yeah, there’s nothing better then a ball. My 2leggies call me ball junkie! And? They’re right. Let me know when You’re in the Netherlands again, because we’re moving to the Dutch border in ten days. So we could have a game.

Yours
