if you have old rope kicking around, you can tie them up into balls leaving a bit of rope length on it for chucking,

Ha, I'm sure this thread has jinxed Stumpy's ball

I was just thinking she's had her ball for ages...then what does she do today - drops it in a sheep field

The fence was a bit like a haha - an 8ft drop down to the sheep with a fence against the vertical bank. So pleased that she listened to me when I yelled leave as she was just about to jump down to go and get it, but then she wouldn't have been able to get back out (and I wouldn've have fancied her being caught in there by the farmer).

You can borrow Flynn, it's almost a guarantee that he will find a tennis ball when out on a walk, I have dozens and dozens. It's amazing where they get lost as well but he's got a special nose for them and one dogs loss is Flynn's gain.

I always shout at him because I think he's scoffing a dead rabbit or eating poo and then I feel guilty when he prances back to me all proud with a tennis ball.

I'm lucky I have a friend who plays tennis. She only uses the balls for a few games and when she's finished she passes them on to Mo

Just a thought, I thought I read once that the furry covering on tennis balls was bad for dogs teeth. True os false?

I heard that the glue in tennis balls is bad for dogs teeth if they are allowed to chew it and the glue gets on their teeth. I don't leave the balls with my dogs, so it isn't a problem.

Brilliant - yes please But it isn't tennis balls they lose - it is the far more expensive hard rubber balls on ropes.

Aaah thanks, I knew there was something.
No, Mo only has them to play fetch when we are on the beach.

Oops!!!

What we do is.....
we go down to our local park where a brilliant designer has sited the tennis courts next to the boating pond. And Daisy pops in and gets them. We got 2 today - half term is specially good.

way to go Daisy dog
