Marcus: No, it wouldn't dare threaten me. Can't take my eyes off it for a second, though.
Micah: Why, would it run away if you do?
Marcus: I was waiting for Jan to try to kick it. She's sneaky, but I'm faster than she is sneaky.
Micah: Oh, so you were playing soccer?
Marcus: No. She picked it up and threw it so we played chase.
Micah: You don't play catch?
Marcus: Rarely. Jan usually throws it past me so it's hard to catch. But I am good at catching if she bounces it.
Micah: I'm all for anything that exercises you and tires you out so you leave the rest of us alone for a few minutes.
Marcus: Jan might have returned my red ball to Amazon (Sending Red Ball on Vacation) but I still have my trusty old blue ball with the tooth holes in it. Oh, and by the way, the rope toy Jan accidentally threw into the tree a few months ago finally fell down into the pen. So if this ball should happen to fall apart for no reason, I'll still have something to chase.
Micah: So your new blue ball is now your trusty old blue ball. Interesting. But you do know, I hope, if this ball should happen to fall apart, it will certainly NOT be for no reason!
Marcus: You're right. If this ball falls apart, it will be Jan's fault. She's awfully hard on my toys!
Percy: Our interview this week is with Sophie, Dexter and Olive. You can read Three Chatty Cats Chat on Mousebreath.

ReplyDeleteMarcus, you are a dog of words and trimming them to the prevailing conditions... I hope Blue Ball lasts you for a while. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
I'm glad you finally have your special ball back Marcue!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter to me what color the squeaky ball is! Whatever color it is, the ball is always MINE!
ReplyDeleteI'm going over right now to read the interview!
ReplyDeleteHappy to see you with your fave ball Marcus
ReplyDeleteOh, Marcus, you just have to run further BEFORE Jan throws the ball, duh. But I get your drift. She is pretty hard on your toys, but your toys are pretty hard on your TEETH!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for featuring us! We were thrilled to be interviewed!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd we were thrilled to interview you. Thanks for participating.
DeleteGet Jan to throw it more and further.
ReplyDeleteMarcus, I think you need to demand that Jan plays soccer with your blue ball! You get exercise, she gets exercise, and everyone else gets to relax. Win-win-win scenario! (Sorry, Jan...;-))
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you have a trusty old ball to fall back on Marcus. We luv the 3 chatty casts and their new brofur. Big hugs
ReplyDeleteLuv ya'
Dezi and Raena
Just what is the average life expectancy of one of Marcus's balls?
ReplyDeleteWell, the red ball was less than 5 minutes. I am on #4 (indoor) and #5 (outdoor) blue balls at the moment. They have lasted a few months. The other blue balls had ... er, accidents. I get to keep my indoor balls but the outside ones are put away or I'd chew them up right away since they taste so good. Dirt is good for us, you know.

Saphera has a similar 'record' with squeaky toys. For some reason, she rips out the squeaker. Strangely, she doesn't do that with gigglers - she treats those like they are babies she needs to protect.... Purrseidon is the one with a ball collection, but she doesn't rip them apart.
DeleteI hope your blue ball doesn't fall apart!
ReplyDeletedood...it mite be just uz.....but yur bloo ball kinda lookz like red ball sew may bee if mom getz red ball that lookz like bloo ball then ya can all sew get one in green !! ☺☺♥♥
ReplyDeleteYou've got to admire that blue ball! It's been through a lot and it just keeps going! Bear agrees that one's toys need to know their places!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have your blue ball. I am off to read the interview, I like their blog.
ReplyDeleteYou blue ball sounds like a pawsome toy!
ReplyDeleteA fella has to have a favorite ball. BTW, the one I ate was my inside ball. Wilson is my most every favorite.
ReplyDeleteKeep Calm & Bark On!

I Pinot love playing with my ball, too!
ReplyDeleteWe read the post about the red ball and the mom bean said "they sure don't make things like they used to". But maybe those ball makers never met a Marcus before. They should make you the official tester 'cuz maybe then they could make a virtually indestructible ball!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Jan IS super hard on your toys. Imagine throwin' one into a tree and gettin' it stuck up there. MOUSES!
ReplyDeleteI have a favorite little fuzzy blue and green ball that I love chasing while dad bounces it high off the walls here. Even for an older gal I still got some kitten in me!
ReplyDeleteHi Marcus. When you wrote about the demise of your red ball, we did wonder about your blue ball, and how it was holding up! Nice to know it's still there for you. :)
ReplyDeleteWe love the Three Chatty Cats, and will go and check out your interview of them now!
Hugs!
It pays to stick with what works!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Sunday...
Noodle and crew
Pawesome ball Marcus!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in The Pet Parade!
