She says that I am Irish
To be fair, I’m not so sure…
Is Irish like Italian,
Where passion has no cure?
Where seeking to drive passion out…
A new nail through the old…
The new feeds no obsession,
Is ignored and leaves you cold?
No matter what the state it’s in,
When all is said and done,
For me obsession simply means
There can be only One.

Sue Vincent's Daily Echo 
I love the haiku Sue and the images are so appealing. Have you thought of getting Ani one of those tennis ball machines that automatically spits the balls out ?

You can add Spanish to your list of the obsessed. Finbar does the same with tennis balls, doesn’t play with them just slowly and deliberately peels them like oranges. He gets a reel buzz out of peeling tennis balls.

My Buzzy’s favorite is a white fuzzy handed down from three deceased owners. Every dog adore it. We usually have two American Eskies and the youngest always grabbed this baby whenever the dominant was occupied. Bay mourns the whole time it’s n the laundry. He plays wit it all day and takes it to bed with him. He chews it’s nose as he drifts off to sleep. Occasionally he slips it utside and we play keep away.
