Interesting read' many things resonated with me; either with humor, or disdain.

But maybe a laser pointer is good for a cat to exercise; but please, please use wisely and moderately for your dog.

True and a very sad story about laser pointers and dogs: at my first training place; Mike the head trainer had a big rottweiler. Every week twice a week Magic and I would go for training; and that dog would just stand around; not interested in people, nor in dogs.
So one week I asked Mike; why is that Rotty like that; I saw him chasing what I think was a shadow, and that was the first time I saw him interested in anything.

Well this Rotty was a rescue. The owners lived in an apartment; didn't want to walk the dog once he grew out of puppyhood, and for exercise, they would just have him chase the laser light around in the apartment.

It was a very sad thing to have happened to a beautiful dog. It took Mike almost three years to rehabilitate this dog, from meglectfull owners who only had him for 18 months.

I remember the first time that Rotty ran up to Magic and me, when we entered the training grounds one day. I got tears in my eyes; I was so so happy. Magic liked the big boy too.
