[nagdu] Working Our Dogs

Fri Nov 9 21:54:48 UTC 2012

Landon loves to chew the fuzz off tennis balls.  The good thing is that the 
fuzz just comes out in the end - still fuzzy and green.  I don't allow 
Landon to have one unless he's actively chasing it and not lying down and 
chewing it.  Landon is the Toy Terminator (I'll be back!).  He and his 
friend, Bernie will rip apart a rope tug toy in 15 minutes.
