It pours with rain. The little stream behind the orchard turned into a mud coloured maelstrom. Sophie, mesmerized by the flowing water, wants to leap into every drainage ditch. Bob does. Finally, filthy and soaked, they are put on their leads and hurried home.
'The font' has returned with a new dog toy. A nine inch long, red, plastic egg. Bob looks at it suspiciously. Sophie leaps on it. The egg shoots across the floor and tumbles with an annoying ''clickety clack, clickety clack '' noise over the floor tiles. The game starts in the upstairs hallway, moves slowly and noisily to the drawing room, retraces its steps to the dining room and ends in a bedroom. The red plastic egg is then confiscated. The noise this seemingly innocuous toy generates is the dog world equivalent of giving an eleven year old boy a full set of drums.

Strike plastic toys off the list.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
At first glance I wondered if it was a rugby ball to celebrate the start of the Six Nations.
I thought it was a rugby ball as well. Assumed you'd got it to play touch rugby with ?
We were given a similar looking toy, and its been "misplaced."
Maybe Bob and Sophie can play with the egg outside....hopefully the noise shouldn't be so annoying to the ears outdoors.
