Dog Eat Doug by Brian Anderson for August 31, 2015

Could fix the problem if you had bigger balls.

I used to use the flash light to retrieve Half-Time’s toys from under things. Then he’d get all excited by the “Shiney Thing” and we’d get into a new game. BAK!

There’s usually more under there than just that one lost object. The last time I had to pull out something under the desk I also found several paper clips, a pen, 32 cents, and a ton of dust bunnies.

That is a very good question Miss Sophie,

Every time I have to fish dog toys out from under a piece of furniture I swear that I will never buy another furnishing that a tennis ball can fit under!

Yeah, i don’t like furniture with small gaps at the bottom that are just big enough for pet toys to end up underneath.

That opening looks like a great hidey place for some kitties. Always fun to reach in and have some furry paw grab your fingers!

Jackson Galaxy strongly recommends kick plates.

My dog has a few favorites. One has an LED light that, when the ball is jostled enough, turns on and flashes. It is her best thing ever. And neither Dad nor I remember the direction it was thrown in last to figure out what it is under, behind, or between. We didn’t realize so many places in our home could hide a toy until we had Chloe. Our other dogs didn’t do fetch, and while it came up a few times with the parakeets they tended to be squawking up a storm. When they heard my voice and then saw my hand at the end of the piece of furniture they came to me. Balls, not so much.

Good point there, Sophie!
