My dog's expensive new chew toy
 I am thinking of marketing it as the "stick" and charging $29.95 plus shipping and handling. Maybe the Ronco guy can market it for me. I can see the infomercials now. Not $50 like some of those other expensive toys you see advertised! Not $40! No, not even $30! If you act now, you can have this action-packed toy your dog will love for only three easy monthly payments of $10 plus s/h. Act now, operators are standing by.

 So does he fetch? Mine doesn't, he lets you find the stick and throw it then decides its easier for him to just throw it and fetch it himself.

I thought those had already been marketed as toys for children six and younger. When sold to as toys they came with a free rock for $19.95.

I can't remamber the number. It's a Ronco thing.

Buster loves to fetch. Yesterday he started to fetch a coyote in my yard until the coyote looked up at him. When that happened, he ran like a shot into the house and hid. I don't think I can count on Buster to protect me from the coyotes. Of course, he can always bring me his "stick" that I can use to scare them off.
By the way, do you know how lovely it is to walk into your front yard and find a half a deer? Obviously the coyotes were having deer buffet. I thought about a picture for everyone to enjoy, but it was a little too gruesome. Maybe Emeril can give me some pointers of proper presention of "deer carcass ala cornfield".

Oops, sorry, the number is 1-900-CMY-STIK.
I am wrong, the operators aren't standing by. They are sitting.

At least it came with greens.

I think "The Empty Box" far outsells "Sticks" in the kids' dept.

No fair! Buster can't compete at that level of "cute".

No, it is $29.95 if you pay all at once. It costs you an extra nickel for processing the easy pay.

Wasn't there a recent thread on how politely to let him know?

How would you like a coyote delivered to your front door with a half-chewed Bambi?

He wouldn't stand a chance with uneaten food around.

I had no idea coyotes could take down a deer. Perhaps I should invest in a weapon.

You forgot the part of "If you order now, we will throw in a second stick at no cost."
