Dog - 1, ball - 0

Max has been wanting to play with Foxy's ball which she uses in her therapy to return her shoulder to working condition. Today she no longer needed he ball and so we decided to let Max play with the ball. It is the size of a soccer ball and Max loved it. He chased it all over the motor home but couldn't seem to get it in his mouth, big surprise. Finally he came back into the living room proudly carrying the ball in his mouth. He settled down with his prize and suddenly the ball popped while in his mouth. Max was quite surprised and could smell the air departing the ball. Now what to do? It was dead! So I figure, Max - 1 and ball - 0. Happy travels.
