Softball String Warning!!

[John Van Mason and "SUGAR"]

My sons Labradoodle Nelly had to be put down today because she ate the string and cork that is wound  around the inside of a Softball covering.  She was only seven years old.  The string and cork choked her intestinal tract and most of the tract was dead and beyond repair.  Please only use Softballs, OR NOT,  under close supervision as they can cause irreparable harm to your dogs insides, and kill it.  Nelly was such a good dog and did not deserve to die this way.  We will miss her a lot.
