A Dog and his Ball

by Jamie on January 30, 2008

I often wonder what the attraction that a dog has to that little round object called the ball. House_005  My Border Collie ApolloDogs_016 , loves, obsess and chases the ball every chance he gets.  In our house, we have many code words for this ball- "the demon orb", the "round object" , the "sphere".  There are many times we can not mention the "b" word as it will put Apollo into a frenzie- looking for that lost (in a tree)  or hidden (we just can not through it anymore) ball.  He will chase it, fetch it and catch it, any chance he gets.
