[nagdu] Dog food

A lot of that sounds familiar.  Monty chomped a tennis ball in half in 
the first few days that I had him.  the regular size is really to small 
for him.  It was a long time before I tried the larger softball size 
tennis balls.  He loves those things, but he peels them. I've pretty 
much resigned myself to the fact that toys are not going to last as long 
as advertised.
