[nagdu] Working Our Dogs

[Larry D. Keeler]

oh, the tennis ball!  My son when he grew up, was and still is convinced 
that tennis balls were only used for tennis after being invented for dogs! 
I have a couple of really big tennis balls I baught at the pet store. 
They're about as big as maybe 4 tennis balls.  They have 2 kinds.  The cheap 
ones just look like tennis balls but can be chewed up and broken easily. 
The other is just like the smaller ones.  Including the bounce!  I sometimes 
get nervous with the regular sized balls because they're kind of small and I 
worry that they could be accidentally be swallowed.  But the big ones!  The 
dog would have to have a really big throat because they're about half the 
size of a basketball!
