I'm surprised their nostrils are not closed. I know Apollo (my lab) shuts them closed as he takes off on a dive.
Guess he doesn''t like water up his snout.

And why isn't the tennis ball floating? How much force would it take to throw one that far passed the water surface?
As usual, I'll remain skeptical.

So the most reasonable explanation is that there's a weight inside the tennis ball.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
Re: Chopping onions
or maybe the dog jumped directly on the ball with his chest and drove it underwater....
or maybe its computer imposed on the pic....
ray Is just skeptical by nature....
I could get killed on his doorstep , falling on the copperhead that bit me, trappinig it before ray s pan sized eyes, and he would politely tell the snake that the DE tourist board says that he does not exist in Delaware.....
now you are readily found in the neighboring counties of Maryland, he might tell the snake, but you just gon t exist in this state.
you are merely an acid flashback or some other figment of my over active imagination. please remove yourself from my doorstep, even tho you are really here.
I hope you are smiling ray.....

Re: Chopping onions
Simpler answer--it's not a tennis ball. PetSmart has lots of 'toys' that look similar and probably are not a boyant as a tennis ball. Tennis balls do not last long as a dog toy.

wesw, I'm always smiling, or laughing, or gasping, at the shit you throw up in this place. You are the gauge by which I measure all other posters. Without the bad it's sometimes hard to quantify or qualify the good. I don't put you on "ignore" for that very reason.wesw wrote:... I hope you are smiling ray.....
Thanks, wesw, keep up the bad work.

Re: Chopping onions
The moment a tennis ball is punctured its buoyancy is vastly diminished and it can easily be thrown into/under water. Basic physics, look it up. I've been throwing actual made-for-tennis tennis balls into/under water for dogs to chase for decades.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Re: Chopping onions
Why are there so few movies about cats? What do you expect, when this is the best you've got to work with?

Not to mention there's a huge difference between a boy and his dog and a crazy old lady and her cats.

Re: Chopping onions
Waddaya mean there are no cat movies? There are thousands, no, millions of them online. Just put them all together end-to-end and you'll have.....well, you'll have the internet, is what you'll have. 

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.
