Default My Dogs Balls

Those of you that visit pet shops, can you take a look to see if they have in stock any Exelpet fun balls - see picture.

Helen has a bad back and cannot bend down too often, these balls were ideal for throwing and picking up with a stick, but the daft mutts have lost half a dozen of the things now.

I can't find any anywhere local or online, and Pedigree tell us they have stopped making them and cant supply us any old stock.

If you can find any, let me know and I'll sort out how to get hold of them

My wee beastie's got one of those and never plays with it. He much prefers a good ol' tennis ball which he can squish with his jaws.

Heaven only knows where it is though - probably buried somewhere - though is idea of burying something is to scrape a 1/2 inch 'hole' then cover it in about 3 feet of fresh air!

I'll keep an eye out for it and if it turns up you are more than welcome to rehome it where it'll get some use.

I must admit - I've not see one about for sale locally for a while.

Tried it, its pants. Its too difficult to scoop up a ball on anything but a bowling green. Thanks for the thought though.

What about the balls with a rope loop through, easy to chuck & you could put a cup hook in the end of a piece of broomstick so she could pick it up again.

Thanks, its a thought - probably need something like a pirates hook rather than a cup hook mind!
I'll wander round pet paradise / pet smart and see if I can get hold of two. ( The dogs insist on one each of everything )
