So Lamb Chop is the last fluffy toy for Joni. From now on it's tough toys only. Even the famous blue balls have been chewed up and eaten (at least mostly eaten). So we are in the market for some indestructibles. Any suggestions? (Preferably blue, by the way, and if they can be bounced like the blue ball, then that would be a bonus.)

LOL! Such an innocent face to go along with the tragic murder of Lambchop!
Awww…so cute +Ellie Kennard
Nice
Oh I haven't any suggestions.. don't be in dog toys very much, but I press my thumbs that you find some
Yes, they bounce very nicely. Our Leo dog likes to throw the ball at me so I'll catch it and throw it back. If it bounces right back to him he has been known to catch it and try again 🙂
But $35 is kinda steep. Even the $27, if you use Amazon, is on the high side.
😀 wonderful story, +Ursula Klepper – I love your Mira already! (And I've seen the beautiful pictures of her puppies, too.)
Haha! yes they dig – also our Mira loved it! :o) many years ago she digged herself into the soil in the back side of our garden. I looked outside and couldn't see here anywhere, so I called her name and then suddenly a black head came out of the soil … :o)
Do they bounce well +Richard Ball? I mean she has learned how to bounce and catch, and was perfecting bouncing out of one side of her mouth and catching it in the other side. Those Orbee balls are $35 in Canada! (only $15 in the US).
Ellie, the other good one is the Orbee ball from Planet Dog, it is also mostly blue.
+Susanne Stelle 😉 She is surely one of the most interesting dogs I have watched develop. Her speed of learning as well as her intensity are quite amazing. Never mind those eyes!
+Ellie Kennard Who would not !
Thanks for those two ideas (linked and icy one!) +Hugo Burnham – you always have great ones! I'm not sure that I would want blue dye on her face, but sounds a lot of fun.
Thank you +Patricia dos Santos Paton – but very deceptive at the same time. 😀
Almost sugary sweet, +Mari Luukkonen – and yes, I have to agree with you. Poor little Lamb Chop.
😀 +Shelly Gunderson – thank you very much.
+Lou McCorkle – shows how deceiving looks can be, doesn't it?
Thank you +Ursula Klepper – dogs are the same all over the world. You have to love them. 🙂 Border collies have to be kept busy all the time or they get bored and do naughty things. Like chew up the house. Or dig. :/
+Nina Anthony – thank you so much, Nina.
I am going to look for those locally, +Richard Ball – they might do the trick. Meanwhile we have an orange ball which is pretty hardy. Not sure if she would lose it in the grass more easily, not being blue.
Thank you +Sunny Wu
+Bill K – thanks!
You have it in a nutshell +Patrick Smith
She did, +Paul Brown – and so did I, watching it, if I'm being honest. :-/
Thank you Sumit.
😉 +Bill Millier
You are so right, +Susan LaDuke – she did. And it kept her busy, just not long enough.
Great idea, +Edward Kowalski – I will have a look in Frenchy's next time I am in there. They might have some good quality (for safety) but cheap ones.
+Susanne Stelle – I fear I spend rather too long looking at this dog… and those eyes! 😀 Thanks Susanne.
Very appealing
+Ellie Kennard Look at this dog. These eyes 🙂
haha, cool! Great shot! We buy fluffy toys at the goodwill for about 50 cents.
Looking at the sweet innocence of Joni in the picture, it hardly seems possible. But, as a long time dog owner, I know firsthand just how deceiving that angelic ploy can be!! But, she must have loved every minute of Lambchop's demise…….
Who? Me? 🙂
A really sweet picture indeed! 🙂
But she had sooooo much fun!
Yes, don't let the cute faces fool you!
Cute!
Excellent Shot!
Ellie, ours love the Hol-ee Roller X extreme from jwpet.com. They also have a Hol-ee Mol-ee smaller in size and even tougher (so they say).
Awwww! Adorable moment, beautifully captured!
Yes there are countless toys "eaten" by our dog! :o) Lol but she looks so sweet and as Lou said innocent!! Great image!
And Joni looks so innocent!
Aww Poor Lamb Chop! It is a quite cute photo though!
You ar right +Ellie Kennard ! This is sooo sweet. But poor Lamb Chop… 😀
Ohh so sweet!
Or, just had another idea, you could colour some water with blue food dye and freeze them into ball shapes. Not indestructible but cool fun in the sun!

might be just the thing Ellie.
