Bonker Balls

No stones were left unturned this past weekend while looking for two Bonker Balls. My wife purchase a three pack of miniature, cloth style balls from the local super market, this past Saturday. If you've read my previous post from last week, you will understand the ball dilemma that is rapidly approaching. She brought the new balls home and introduced them to Trixie and Wilson.......BINGO!!!! We have a winner. Both dogs were ecstatic over the new toy. My wife called me at work and reported the great news immediately. That evening I came home very excited to inspect the new Bonker Balls that our puppies love so much. This really is a big deal as the old ball is on it's last leg. That old ripped up ball (apparently one of a kind and impossible to imitate) doesn't even resemble a sphere anymore, of any dimension.

me.... so...where are the new balls? Her...hummm can't find them....Me.... Ok,I'll help ya look for them. They have to be someplace.

Well, we spent the good part of an hour looking for these things and came to the conclusion that;

a) they were sucked up by the vacuum cleaner.
b) the dogs had a hiding spot unknown to humans.
c) they were mistakenly tossed in the garbage.

If you picked C, then you are correct. My wife remembered putting the new Bonker Balls in the pockets of an old shirt of hers. Her intention was to give the dogs the old shirt as a play thing, kind of like hide-and-seek with the balls. She forgot the balls were in there and threw the shirt out prior to heading out to meet me for dinner. The next day she purchased a new trio of Bonker Balls. The dogs still love them.....they are actually bonkers over these things. They appear to have tiny bells in them with little slivers of material sewn into the covering. They truly are what the name says...Bonker Balls. Plus, we went bonkers looking for them all night.
