Oh, pardon me, you’re probably wondering why I’m writing this. My master (make that “taskmaster”) is making me write this sentence 25 times as a punishment. You see, we were playing "Chuck It" yesterday and instead of bringing the ball back I, well, you know, got a little distracted by all the delicacies out there in the field.

Hey, that’s pretty easy when you just use the “cut and paste” feature!

It’s even easier if you abbreviate it: I. w. b. t. “c. i.” b. b. a. i. i. t.

I. w. b. t. “c. i.” b. b. a. i. i. t.
I. w. b. t. “c. i.” b. b. a. i. i. t.
I. w. b. t. “c. i.” b. b. a. i. i. t.
I. w. b. t. “c. i.” b. b. a. i. i. t.
Etc., etc.

Good enough. All done!

Now, let me say this in my defense…

The game is called “Chuck It.” So it seems that the onus is on the owner to "chuck" the ball, and really whatever happens from there is fair game. How was I to know that a flying ball implied some sort of elaborate social contract between owner and pet??

It seems my owner was confusing this activity with “Fetch,” a game played by a previous, less liberated generation of animal companions.

But I'm liberated...



... as long as I'm loved!

So please forgive me. I will bring the "chuck it" ball back after it is thrown!
