Classic Bill Simmons article: One final toss for the Dooze. He wrote this when 2009 started, but I re-read it this week because it was mentioned in his most recent mail bag. He says it’s his most read piece ever, basically because people love dogs.
We had our new roommate within two weeks: an 8-week-old puppy named Daisy, or as we ended up calling her, “The Dooze.” Her obsession with tennis balls started as soon as she could cram one in her mouth. And, yeah, I know goldens stereotypically love tennis balls … but The Dooze took it to another level. Within a few months, she could repeatedly bounce them off the ground and catch them like she was dribbling a basketball.
One of my favorite things that I’ve ever read.
