The Barks:
A hugh thank you goes out to Lisa, Teddy, Scout and Diesel over at Dogs N Pawz . They were having multiple Unbreakoball giveaways and we were lucky enough to win the last ball they were giving away. I really wanted to win this ball to put it to the Gman test. Gman is a ball wrecker and has chewed up many balls so I was super excited when I got the email that we won.
Oh we wonder what is in this box?
We won our very own unbreakoball.
Whoo hoo what fun.
Glory says this is cool.
Glory modeling with the ball.
Gman trying his paw at the ball.
2 paws up for this toy.
I can get this.
Gman hasn’t wrecked it yet.
Nellie even had a little fun.
What a cool ball, the SS gang loves it.
The Bytes:
I want to thank the FitDog Friday blog hop for awarding Sand Spring Chesapeakes In The Hunt award. We are proud to be awarded this award and have displayed it on our sidebar. Check it out if you haven’t seen it already. Come back tomorrow to see what the SS gang did this week for their FitDog Friday post.

WOOF co-hosts… Oz The Terrier, Roxy the Traveling Dog and Wag ‘n Woof Pets, thank you for this blog hop.
WHAT IS WOOF?
WOOF, Working Out Our Fears, is an online group for reactive dogs and their owners to seek support from others who are dealing with similar experiences.
The Woof theme today is: “What I Love about My Reactive Dog”.
This is my first WOOF blog post and I wanted to share “What I Love about My Reactive Dog”.
My reactive dog is Nellie. She is reactive in a couple of ways but today going with the theme I will tell you that I love that Nellie is the best “alarm/guard dog” in our house. Any little noise that she hears and thinks is coming from outside she goes ballistic. She will jump up out of a dead sleep to go bark at what ever she heard just to alert us something might not be right. She has done this her entire life. At times I will admit it drives me nuts because if you “burp” she will think it came from outside and she will go into attack mode and bark, bark, bark. When she does alert us that someone is outside outweighs the over barking at normal noises. I am glad I have Nellie to alert me as I know with her barking and carrying on an intruder might think twice of coming in, for that I love her.
Nellie
Oh boy! Gambler! I’ve got a laughing fit as I saw how you signed your ball :o)
You never did that did you easy?
Thanks for joining our hop today JoAnn! I think that reactive dogs do make pretty good watch/guard dogs too. Oz will bark at anything…ANY THING…that comes on to our property which is great, except when it is a leaf blowing in the wind. LOL And Oh My Gosh…I just love Gambler! He is a hoot! I bet Oz wishes he could run around carrying a big box like that!
Gina and Oz
You are so welcome. Gambler will show Oz how to carry big boxes, he goes nuts for them.
“got balls? we do” hahahahahahahaha!!!!!! LOVE it!!!! Too funny! Congrats on your award and winning your balls! haha!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
I thought that was cute too.
OK, did I ever laugh at the end of that video!! It was fun watching Gambler open his package too, and it looks like the ball was a hit. I’m going to have to get one for our crew.
Thanks for joining the WOOF hop too. I think having a good watch/alert dog definitely outweighs any bad things about reactivity. Cricket is usually over the top in her barking too, and she is now teaching Luke to be that way. But the way our house is set up, we never hear anyone come in the drive, so it is great to have them let us know when someone is here, and I feel far safer when my hubby isn’t home.
I’m glad gman made people laugh, I was a bit embarrassed.
So happy you won the ball! It looks great!!! Dying to get one for Dakota, will do it hopefully soon!
Me too, hope Dakota gets one soon.
Unbreakoball! I love it. My post for tomorrow is all about the joy the jolly ball has brought to our lives!
We love jolly balls too.
I want to play with youowooowooooooo Gman!
You and gman would have so much fun.
Congrats on your award! And the ball looks fantastic 🙂
Thank you! The ball is really cool.
I bet you guys will really get good use out of that ball. We got the smaller one, but we aren’t hard on balls. We are waiting for cousin Lena to come and play with it!
I bet it will be fun for Lena. Have fun with it.
That video was so funny. First Glory running off with the box, then Gambler’s little leap over the ball . . . just before he “made it his.” 🙂 And good for Nellie being the alert dog, except when she’s alerted by burps!
Damn boys! lol
LOL I think G-man made sure everyone knows that ball is his! Might be your best video yet! Nellie and Storm are a lot alike. Storm is our watch dog. But that is what Gary breeds–old time Chessie. 🙂 Thanks so much for joining the hop.
hahaha best video yet, you see I was pissed he did that I shut the video off, I was debating posting it.
We love our Unbreakoball! Pierre tries in vain to pick it up but he can’t so he can’t kill it! He also wakes out of a dead sleep to attack some unheard stalker! HAHA
Thank God for our alerters. lol
What a great win! Fun to watch your dogs playing with it too. 🙂 Toby has a similar hard plastic ball, and it is one of his favorites!
Thank you, we were quite happy we won.
Love it! This was my first month participating in the WOOF hop, too 🙂 I’m so in every month now, though.
Guilie @ Life In Dogs
Loved the video, especially the end! That is exactly what Scout would do! Hope they like the ball!
Your dogs are gorgeous and Nellie is adorable!! Look at what white hair around her eyes and muzzle. My Rummer who passed away in March, was my reactive dog. That girl would alert me to incoming “anything and anyone” minutes before they got home. I called her my early alarm system. My Jack… not so much. lol
