For those of you who do not play tennis:  if you want an unlimited supply of
tennis balls, ask a friend who belongs to a tennis club to bring you some
home.  Tennis clubs have large containers where all the "worn" out balls are
thrown in; some players only use tennis balls for a few matches and the
balls are then discarded.  Always lots of used tennis balls there for the
taking as they just throw them out.

Hi List,
Maybe everyone out there already knows this - but I think this is "nifty".
Those poor mud coated tennis balls that our dear GSD's love so much and want
to bring into the house can have more than one life!  This will only work
with the GOOD brands - not the $.99 ones.  I rinse the offending orb under
the tap and then place it on the top shelf of the dishwasher.  I usually do
this in with the pots and pans - not the fine china!  I run the dishwasher
through the wash with regular dishwasher detergent, through the rinse and
through the drying cycle.  They come out almost as good as new for another
run in the yard.  Better than throwing them away.
One of my girls has figured out the dishwasher trick and will sit watching
the dishwasher door until I open it and give her a clean ball.  Not too VERY
spoiled? LOL Jody from Midvale
