Go Dog Go-update

Update on our new toy Go Dog Go:

The weather has been incredible here, no rain, quite cold at night with 
frost every morning but hey who's complaining about a bit of a chill?  NOT 
us! Usually by this time of year we are soggy dogs...

We had visitors from Alaska this past weekend interviewing SeaJay and 
Gidget for a puppy.  These people are looking for a mellow dog but one that 
will still be active so we broke out the Go Dog Go for a demo.  SeaJay has 
this thing wired.  He will chase the first 25 pops or so then he lays down 
where he knows the ball is going to fall.  Just lifts his head every 15 
seconds and plop into his mouth another ball goes.  He stores them between 
his front legs under his ruff, like a mother hen keeping her eggs 
warm.  Scarlette is not very enchanted with her son...  She barks, play 
bows, shows her teeth to him, (smileing) he just "turns the other cheek" 
and pop here comes another one!   Scarlette is so frustrated she can hardly 
stand still.  She tries to tackle him he lays down on his balls, pop in 
coming, yet another ball to tuck under the ruff....  Picks three up holds 
them in his mouth all the while Scarlette is just in a frieze, foaming at 
the mouth!   When he got up there were like 15 balls!  Scarlette did not 
know what to do with all those balls to choose from and low and behold the 
one she wanted was not in the pile, it was in SeaJay's mouth of course!

Another good use for the Go Dog Go is practicing your serve!  Judy L. pay 
close attention here. <smile>  Racket in hand, the machine pop's one you 
wang it out there the dogs bring it back.  Just have to teach them to put 
it back in the bucket so you don't have to gather them up and re load!

This is really the toy of the year!
