Joop's Dog Log - Tuesday Jan 27

Thanks for your wise input on deer chasing.
My human sais he agrees with you.
So I’ll TRY to stop and think about it first, next time I see a deer. Ha!

Hey, look at this big silver halfdome balloon behind me.
I’m on the grounds of the tennis club in my town here.
Every Fall they put up this big plastic tent over their main courts, and then they blow it full of air!
A machine keeps pumping in air all winter, day and night. Talk about wasting energy!
And you can’t even hear the 15-love, 30-love, 40-love calls out here.
They won’t let me in either.
No dogs allowed! No fun.
I say: it’s zero-love.

Oh dear lord, this is the funniest photolog ever. I am falling more and more in love with Joop with each picture I see.

Yes, a waste of energy, but INDOOR tennis is so much more fun than OUTDOOR tennis in the wintertime, Joop!!! ;-) And, if they let you in, you would just be running around fetching all of the balls, and they couldn`t PLAY!! Maybe your human will let you play with a ball later... *hugs*

But of course you are right with your opinion regarding the energy wasting when using such plastic bubbles, they are old fashioned since decades and inside tennis isn`t fun at all: wet, cold, loud, dirty.Bosslady `s club owns a solid hall with 2 courts and superfast carpet, plays in a team of real fit ladies and seems to have so much fun. They hit the balls so hard and quick that some man would start to cry nor beeinng able to return the 1st service and the used ones are worn out, taste like rubber and are boring....In summer dogs are allowed aside the courts.., but they won`t let us dig holes in the red sand. They have tournaments with delicious food, buffets, parties, barbeques, good music and dancing outside ,head banging with the Stones, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath....tennis can be a 6:0,6:0 - event too...

Try to bite in the wrap and run away ...
NO, no, it was just for fun, Joop. Don`t do that! Henk have to work many months to pay for that :-(
Let the humans blow her stupid balloon, maybe they realize anytime her doing. Olay with your ball...

Yes..so slow also in the morning...I followed your advice and safed all the photos in time to be prepared for whatever will happen.The comments I like most are filed at home...f.e. the sunny gift of yesterday. I hated tennis before Mr. B.Becker came up..now he is through with it and I am addicted to this sport.

Hmmmmmmmmm. You know how much fun it is to chase deer, Joop? Well, multiply that by about twenty, and there you have how it feels to chase tennis balls. Especially in a dome, with lots and lots of people. I think you should just go for it sometime, big guy. Race in there and leap for the first ball hit by the person on yr side of the net. Cuz not only would it be fun to chase the ball, but just think of all the fun when the humans tried to chase you! Ho Ho Ho Ho! Heck, Joop, I`d pay yr fine for this one! Oh, and send us the newspaper clippings, huh?
~~ Actually, this does remind me of a very very very fine dog. Bogart was his name. A friend and I found him when we were bumming around the country some thirty years ago. A big old lab that someone had deserted in a park in South Dakota. We adopted him, and the football that he came with. Traveled all over the western United States with him, and his football. We used to throw it for him, for his exercise. Anyhow, he finally went to live with the parents of my friend, who lived right behind the high school football field. Once, when they left him outside, he jumped his fence and the fence around the field and stole a long forward pass and just kept going. I thought it was funny, but I guess the coach wasn`t quite so amused.

DRAT!! Last night, fotolog only let me upload a single pic. And now, tonight, I am getting that same message, telling me I`ve already uploaded my limit of images. Fah! This is getting to be a real bore!! Is everyone else having this much trouble?

I have a feeling tennis just isn`t your game, anyway Joop.

Don`t tell your human I told you this, Joop, but inside that dome is dog heaven. There are zillions of balls to chase all the time. And it`s big with lots of room to run, and I have a feeling you would have loads of fun for an afternoon or three.
Tell your human that I saw his post about his frustration with F/L and that I wrote to the admins (lot of good that will do) about free teenage snapshot sites (that was the exact description I was thinking, too). Perhaps if we all dropped them a line about the choices they are going to have to start making...and soon...either let all the teenagers in the world hang out here for free, or make it a class site with really good photos for paying customers...they will get the point. I simply do not understand their goal for F/L...and I think that is because they are not clear on what they want this site to be.
Boy I sure would hate not being able to talk and see you every day, deer Joop. (Check that spelling of `dear`...get it.) Haaa haaaa haaaa.

Joop .. interesting news. I`ve just received a copy of my first book translated into Dutch. I know you won`t approve, but it`s the cat book, "Katten voor Dummies." See here:http://www.dummies.nl

giori @ 2004-01-27 15:56 said:
Well, Joop, I`ve written "Dogs For Dummies," but I don`t know it it`s to be translated. They translated "Puppies For Dummies," but that, I didn`t write!
