JoAnn--I never had a dog who would drop a ball at my feet. It always involved a tackle before the repeat!

Thanks, everyone! The recipe form was simple & fun to work with.

Diane, our Rosy drops the ball & then grabs it again. We have to be quick to keep the game going!

Amy's and your poem are great, JoAnn. Those recipes bring up an image just right every time.
One poem
add words to fill
the bowl, then swirl
to mix it well
for those who love
poetic pics
who bake them in
their memories!

Happy Holidays, JoAnn

Great poem. It put right there with my dog when she was younger. I wish e could play catch again.

Thank you all!

Linda, what a fun way to think of poetry! I especially love "add words to fill / the bowl, then swirl / to mix it well."

Rosy just turned two, & I already miss the days when she could curl up in my lap. Not at 70 pounds! I'm glad we can enjoy the ball games!

Happy holidays to all!
