Balls

I don't get it. Perdito (above) is a dog. Dogs play fetch. Dogs chase balls. It's what we do. But Perdito he just doesn't get it. "Ball, what ball? What's a ball anyway?" he's always saying.

I try to show him...
..."This is a ball, dude, and this is how you hold it in your mouth," I tell him, but he still doesn't get it... He just sniffs it and keeps walking right on by.

"Dude! It's a ball, play with it! Chase it. Kick it. Growl at it. Toss it in the air. Squish it in your mean teeth. Roll it with your nose. Get really excited when the ball comes out of the backpack or the pocket. Race like the wind when the ball is thrown. Fetch it, dude!"

But he doesn't. No matter how much education all of his dog pals try to provide...
...he doesn't get it!
