Dropping the Ball: Clank's Testicular Testimony

I don't know how many of you readers follow the Clank's Adventures link. There was an interesting bit of news I wanted to be sure to point out.

Read the Ouch entry.

I asked Anne about it, particularly if there was anything genetic to be aware of.

She answered:

"I have no clue if this could possibly have any genetic basis, I’m personally of the mind that Clank is one of those enthusiastic guys who thinks overdoing things is always better than just doing them. Like the six-foot 1x4 he was dragging around the back yard this afternoon for no apparent reason. The kid has a lot of joie de vivre.

“The Ball” as it’s come to be known around our house caused quite a stir at the vet hospital. They had never seen such a large one inside a pooch, and Dr. Kienle was pretty amazed that it had managed to find its way up into the intestines, where it was just sort of floating around. The whole thing seems like a fluke to me, unless other boys in your batch come up with The Ball as well.

He’s recovered nicely and he and Ratchet have mended fences over the whole Ball-disparity issue (you know how men are). They are not only chasing each other around the house and great friends again, they were even wrestling in the back yard this afternoon. Usually they are too busy having opinions at the Chihuahuas in the yard behind us to mouth fence.

Hope all is well at your place and that you’re looking forward to a great holiday season.

Anne"

And if any of you readers have any information to share regarding such phenomena please pass it on.

Clank update

"Just thought I would update you on Clank. We got his AKC registration and he
is officially Toreth C-Myste Secret Agent Clank (clank's only staring role
game). He is just a doll and has been a huge help in taking care of our old
Lab Jive while he was sick and in helping us get over his loss.

"He and Ratchet are getting along wonderfully and playing like maniacs. Clank
follows Ratchet everywhere. I have attached some pictures of him for you and
of course we will be updating the blog frequently.

"If he ever stands still long enough I will get a more formal portrait for
you.

"Thanks again for this wonderful boy.

"Sharon and Anne"

:*) You're welcome. Thank you!! for loving him. Very much thank you! But I think you need to buy him a few more toys. Not!!

With Jive. Even if they didn't know each other very long they look like they were very good buds.
Hail to the belly.
Hey.
Mine, mine, mine. Don't let Rogue see this pile. It'll take her all day to find holes for them all.
With Momma Anne.

Clank's new family

Clank (formerly known as Remy) went home with new moms today.

Ratchet is ignoring the new kid.

Mom tells him she still loves him. Clank says, "This is different."
But I think he's very happy. And I know the moms are!
