I LOVE THIS! The combination of the picture and the simple poem, even the font you used makes for a LOL moment!
-
love it!
This tiny little thing put a big old smile on my face....simple and sweet. Reminds me soooooooooooo much of my best friend Indy Jones (german shepherd) who was born to play! Loved it!

That face really fits the poem. Thanks for entering.

It's a collie not a retriever I love, but I understand.
It may technically be more a senryu than a haiku, but regardless it's the idea that is the main thing and whilst it's a little too cute for me personally I am sure I've been known to refer to the dogs I grew up with in the same way.

awwwwwwww!!!!!!!

Great ball!
I'm sure your dog is having a ball with you!
I love dogs, all breeds or non-breeds, have 5 at home myself, all reared from pups one is a rescue. 3 Greyhounds and two mixes. only one playes with a ball occasionally, but she's 10 and getting lazy. The other was a black Greyhound girl who played with balls, squeeky toys, an eternal pup. She succumbed to bone cancer at 10 only a few weeks ago. I miss her terribly...

Nifty and kewl. Cute haiku. My mom used to have a dog like that. He was very tamed. I like the backdrop color as well. I love it.

I had a collie/retriever mutt once, and I know what you mean. She'd not only be insistent every ball be thrown, she'd herd-up every other dogs' ball in the dog park to boot!
I could actually sense the image and anticipation of that bouncing-like-a-ball retriever by this haiku. Thanks for this great entry to the contest!
