Do any of you play fetch outside with your dogs? Thor and I use mini tennis balls (AirDog), which work well, BUT they are so small, they can easily get lost, even in low cut grass.
We haven't found anything else that Thor can easily pick up... until now!
We bought one of these over the weekend:

We love it for a bunch of reasons:
- Even more narrow than a mini tennis ball, so even itty bitty dogs can easily pick them up and carry them.
- Much easier for both dog and human to spot in the grass.
- Tends to bounce when it hits the ground, so more visual cues for the little ones.
- You can throw it much farther than a convential tennis ball. You can even throw it a good distance when you are sitting down.
I'm not sure if this is the best price, but you can buy them off Amazon:

Thor and I rate it five out five yorkies in satisfaction:
You know, looking at the picture here, it, um... kind of looks like a tampon. But the toy itself is very cute, and it didn't even occur to me until now, so yeah, no need to worry about that.
