Been busy, but its time to get our first two items up here.
We will start with Frisbee-like toys - two of them.
First, the Flying Squirrel (link).
We got this toy last summer (2008) and it just now bit the dust.
Here is the photo (riley got her foot in too!).
Yes, its mostly ripped in half, but my dogs don't understand sharing - they both want to bring it back, and usually that leads to tug-o-war somewhere in the middle of the backyard.
This thing put up with a lot of tugging before it finally gave in. Total play time - on and off over 4 months. Out of 5, we would give this one a 5. Its a ton of fun, it flies well, its pretty durable (as durable as anything that flies and is soft at the same time), and the price is manageable.
Our second frisbee-like item of the night, the Hyper Disc (link). I will try to be kind, but I dont have much good to say. We got this to try as the Flying Squirrel has seen better days (it still flies a bit, but its sort of lop-sided). My first clue this was a bad toy - just Riley was playing with it, and the first time she brought it back, she had tooth marks all the way through it. Here it is after about 20 minutes of play time - and yes, some tugging, but they are dogs, that is what they do.Overall, I give it a 1. It only gets that because its a scale of 1-5. We will be getting another Flying Squirrel soon.
