I had a big ole Boxer named Tucker that eventually learned to hole a basketball in under 3 seconds. So, I got him the “Almost Indestructible Ball”. The size of a basketball, but hard molded plastic. He would chase it on the deck and SLAM it with his paws with such force it would impact the 2 x 2 uprights with such force the would pop off the structure.
They were held on with nails so, I procured deck screws and diligently anchored them all firmly and properly. Result? He then proceeded to do the same thing SNAPPING the 2 x 2’s!
I know what you’re thinking… and yes, he nailed ME in the shins with the darn thing once. Knocked me flat on my arse and I saw stars. Of course once on the deck it was GAME ON.
He was the first dog that fully and entirely OWNED me.
Tucker left this realm 10 years ago. I still have his ball.
Bless his heart.
