Ping Pong

Ping Pong
Benjamin has a bit of an obsession with ping pong balls. He has been this way since he was a pup. Playing with a ping pong ball is the closest Benny comes to fetching. Toss the ball across the living room, making sure it takes a few wild bounces, and Benny happily bounces behind it, jumping and bumping into things.
Once he finally tracks it down, he rarely picks it up on the first attempt. Instead, in his excitement, he attempts to pick it up, but it just bounces away. Not at all discouraged, Benny goes bounding after it and keeps at it until he finally picks it up. With the ball in his mouth, he runs back to you and gets sorta close before he drops it and is ready for you to throw it again.
We repeat the whole process again and play our little game until Benny inevitably crushes the ping pong ball and it thuds instead of bouncing.

Sounds like he had a lot of fun! =)
Ping pong with Benjamin sounds like a blast! Hope you got lots of throws in before you crunched it all up Sweet Benny!!
Benny you are so funny. Most dogs like tennis balls, but you pick ping pong balls instead, and you evidently have a real blast with him. Hope you get several really good plays out of them. Thanks again for the morning smile.
sounds like Benny had a lot of fun playing ping pong this weekend very cute
Benny, such a look of concentration. That ping pong ball doesn’t have a chance. Are the siblings too “dignified” to get in the game? You go, Benny!

Benjamin has the heart and soul of a true athlete! Determination, focus, drive, and dedication! And of course FUN!
Way to go Baby Benny! Sounds like great fun.
My guys like ping pong balls also but they haven’t crunched any yet…They do love a good chase!
