Check out the Blog Archives to read about our cross country motorcycle road trip from MA to CA in the summer of 2011. During that trip we attended the Annual 2011 National Women On Wheels® Ride-In in San Jose CA. Then we just rode. We traveled over 11,000 motorcycle miles in what ever direction we wanted to go for 61 days. We visited friends and family, saw the country, met some amazing people. We made memories we'll never forget. These memories are what THIS BLOG is made of! That was only the beginning. We've been traveling and riding and blogging every since then. Enjoy our stories while we make MORE memories worthy of posting here for your enjoyment.

Basket Ball Boy

Cooper LOVES any kind of ball.  He  always ruins them in a relatively short time.  

He will flatten a whiffle ball in an hour.  
Base balls loose their skins as do soft balls.  
Foot balls loose their ends first.  
Foam balls are bitten into tiny pieces.  
Soccer balls are no match.  
Super balls get bitten in half.  
Tennis balls are a fairly difficult, but not impossible ball to conquer. 

The only ball we have found for Cooper that he can't ruin is a basket ball.  If it is under-inflated he is able to get his teeth into it and that is the end of that ball too.  Well-inflated basket balls will bounce well.  He has to chase the ball down and use his body to block the ball to stop it.  Playing fetch with a basket ball is more like a soccer game.  He can stop the ball and move it by pushing it with his paws, but he can't figure out how to give the ball a direction.  Usually we bounce the ball high for him to chase and block it while we catch up with him and try to kick the ball while he tries to block our attempts.  He blocks the ball with his body so when we kick it, he can hold it from going anywhere.  Sometimes he puts his chest and one arm on the ball and barks to challenge us to get it from him.  He plays this game like a sport.  He's very competitive.

This year we got him a new ball to replace the ball we got him a couple years ago.  




The old ball became under-inflated and he got his teeth into it.  He was able to bite a small hole in the ball that he worked on for a long time.  He ended off gnawing a big hole in the ball.  He's so happy when he tears apart a ball that we seldom stop him.
