Rio the Toy Tester and the "Flashing Ball"
This week mom brought home a new package
from the dog store. Once again, Piper-the-pushy-one got to open it.
It turned out to be a red ball. Piper went wild. She kept
running around and dropping it in mom and dad's laps for them to throw.
Later that night, we went for a walk and this silly red ball got to come
with us. Dad threw it and it hit the ground and started flashing!!!
Away Piper went. On the way back all you could see was this red ball
in Piper's mouth. We got some strange looks that night. People
were wondering what this flashing, moving thing coming at them was...
Some man asked mom where he could get a flashing collar like that for his
dog!
Rio's Ratings
Challenge:
Piper moves really fast while chasing the ball--it's hard to grab on to
her as she runs by.
Interest Factor: Piper
will chase it for hours and I will chase Piper for hours.
Comments:
Balls aren't all that much fun and this one
isn't even good for chewing on.
Rio gives it a 4/10
Piper's Observations
Challenge: Balls
are never a challenge. I have them figured out. Run really
fast, you'll get 'em.
Interest Factor: I
love any form of ball. This ball even keeps mom entertained.
She loves seeing this blinking ball coming flying back to her even when
she can't see me!
Comments: It
took me a bit to figure this flashing thing out. I normally track
the ball in the sky to figure out where it'll land (hence we lose a lot of
tennis balls at night). With this flashing ball, it doesn't flash
when going through the air, only when it hits the ground, so I had to
change my style of play to looking for the ball once it hits the ground.
Mom has to carry a towel when we play with the flashing ball, it gets
pretty slimy and hard to throw after it's been in my mouth a few times.
Piper gives it a 9/10
