The good , the bad and the ugly.

I bought Luca a horse ball and wrote an discussion about it.

He managed on Day 1 of play to literally pull the plug on it. Luckily I rescued it before he could prove to it that he's the man.

The good: Today was beautiful and Luca's fourth birthday so I reinflated the ball. The plug was pushed waaay in. Someone had asked the other day for a video so here it is:

The bad: The ball always ended up caught in shrubs along the fence, as you can see in the video. So I kept having to go rescue it. Often Luca was breaking pieces of shrubs that were blocking the ball : (

The ugly: I don't know if it was a tooth or more likely a sharp twig but the ball developed a triangular tear. It is now in intensive care and I don't know if I can repair it. It was fun while it lasted.

Oh no. Another good ball down. But so much fun! Not all wasted. Some people spend thisuch money for a day of doggie daycare. I think Luca would have chosen one day with this ball instead of daycare if given the choice.
Too bad I ordered the 30 inch and can not give a review yet.

Luca, Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. All the Monkeys in the zoo, give their best regards to you. Hippos and birdies.........

Thanks for the wishes. And yes, It was not bad for a couple of afternoons of fun even if we can't resurrect it.

Awww...that's like having your balloon pop on your birthday!:( Great video-he looks like he really enjoys that ball! There must be something between this ball and the "fit for a lion" ball that will endure dog teeth and thorns?

Happy Birthday, Luca!!

We've got the ball ordered and it's on its way. Hopefully, our fenced-in, artificial turf play area will pose fewer dangers to the ball and it will last longer than a few days. Guess the true test will be if it survives Sedona's teeth...
