[nagdu] Working Our Dogs

Fri Nov 9 21:30:18 UTC 2012

yah, they do make em that big!  And, the cheap ones can actually fall apart! 
And, I have actually seen some dogs chew thew the fuzz off!  I was thinking 
however about some of the big dogs swallowing the balls and having to get 
them out.  I've heard of many zoo animals dying from that kind of thing!
