Who took my tennis balls??? BeauSpeak

 


There is something new in our house,
I am not fond of it, and someone took my tennis balls, and they are gobbling up this contraption, whatever it is.
It makes my daddy walk funny and I can't get really close to follow him and this walker thing has been here for 14 days now. Mama is taking daddy to the doctor today, to get an ultrasound on the arteries in his legs,and I will be home alone with my tennis balls, heh heh heh


It was bad enough with the one that daddy uses to walk in the house and then mama went to the thrift store and now there is one just outside the back door, with two more tennis balls. Daddy walks to the door and transfers to outside. I think this is strange, and so do Mama and Daddy.
Mama said something about think of it like shoes, when he comes in, he leaves the dirty shoes outside the door and puts on clean ones inside.
BUTT, daddy goes barefoot, inside and out so it makes no sense to me.


I got tired of watching the balls and waiting to get my balls back when it gets through eating the contraption. I just took a nap, but close enough to know if anything happens.
Or if Daddy Moves around. 

Mama said, Beau when your human brother Dan was a teenager, he spent every penny he could find/make playing PACMAN down at the laundromat.
I checked with Google, well, MAMA did it for me and seems Pacman ate everything he came to.
Mama said Beau, you eat like PacMan, ha ha ha
I said, maybe I will try to eat this contraption and make it go away.

I hope the doctor can help so your dad doesn't have to use the contraption!

I LOVE it!!!! Your entire story of the balls eating the contraption and Pac Man! I used to love arcade games and sill do. This was a good idea how to use both of them.

I hope you have a big supply of your very own tennis balls. Your daddy seems to use quite a few. Maybe after the doctor visit your daddy won't need to use the funny contraption.

Hello,
I hope all goes well at the doctor visit. The dogs do love those tennis balls, Miney likes to tear off the green part. LOL, at the Pac-man, cute! Take care, wishing you all a great day!

Beau boy, those balls are perfect as Pacman imitators - but they are doing a very impawtant job. I'm sorry that you have see your daddy struggling with his legs. Those contraptions keep him safe and I know that you know that is a priority. Meanwhile, your ball watching is worthwhile... you never know when one of them truly is a Pacman in disquise! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

Hope all goes well at the doctors today. That does look like pac-man in that last picture.

Oh Beau! I know it must be hard to see those tennis balls there and not be able to rescue them from the contraption so you can play with them. Maybe mama can get you some new balls all your own. I do hope the Doctor can help your daddy feel better and get stronger so he doesn't need that contraption with your tennis balls on it to walk, but on the other hand, it's good there is something that helps him walk so Mama doesn't have to pick him up if he falls. That's the really hard part. Praying for some good answers today. Love the Pacman pictures at the end. Your Mama is SO clever!!

We can understand your confusion with those tennis balls eating that contraption, Beau. It does look like a Pacman is eating it though. BOL! We have our paws crossed that the doctor can help your dad feel better.

The Pac-Man analogy is pretty funny, Beau! Not good about the tennis ball thefts, though! We hope your Dad's doctor visit goes well.

Woofs,
Ollie

Beau - those tennis balls really do look like Pac-Man! I hope the appt goes well today.

Aww, poor Beau. Be happy that your tennis balls are providing a useful service.

Sandee said...

Don't try to make sense of your peeps, Beau. It's impossible.

I hope the doctor can help dad.

Have a woof woof day and week, Beau. My best to your wonderful mom and prayers for your dad to get better. ♥

I bet that is confusing for you, Beau. Tempting! But I know deep inside you know that they’re being used for a good cause. There will always be more 🎾 tennis balls.

Hi Beau. I sure pray your dad gets some good news at the doctor today. I'm guessing it's a little quieter around your place with those tennis balls on the walker. Good idea for him to have one for outdoors and one for indoors. Enjoy your nap.

Mevely317 said...

I never would have made the PACMAN connection ... good one, momma.
Good idea about having an outside and inside walker, but how do you keep the outside one's rails from getting burning hot from the sun? We had one of those walkers after Tom's hip replacement years ago, but I think it's high time we look for another.
Prayers that y'all had good news at the doctor!

Chatty Crone said...

Let us know tomorrow what the doctor says. I hope they can do something for him, so he doesn't have to use that walker. I bet Beau doesn't know what is happening to his balls!

Brian's Home Blog said...

I guess that makes your Papa a tennis pro. That ball does look like the famous PacMan!

Debby@Just Breathe said...

I'm sorry about the Beau but I'm sure Mama will get you more tennis balls. It is very important for Daddy to use those on the walkers. That is also a great idea to have two of them, one for inside and one for outside. Hope Daddy's appointment goes well.

Lucy: Are you sure those were YOUR tennis balls, Beau? I can't imagine you Mom or Dad taking your stuff.
Chia: I would demand lots of treats for every ball you're missing!
Xena: I hope your Daddy has a good dogter, er, doctor report. Maybe he'll be able to give you back your balls and you can play pacman(whatever that is) or something else with them.

Beau, we never imagined that tennis balls could turn into Pacmen:). But take heart, your balls are helping your Dad a lot

Beau you should be happy your daddy can use your tennis balls to help him get around. Hope the doctors can help him get rid of the contraption and you get the balls back.
