Well I finally had to do it. I had to take Mick's jolly ball away from him. He had been chewing big plastic hunks off of it and there was just one round piece left. Poor boy...he raced around the yard trying to find it. I took it and rubbed it up against the new jolly ball that has been sitting in the yard for two years hoping that he would like it because he could smell the scent of the old ball on it. Wrong. I hope that we do not have to go see a psychiatrist! I am sure that in time he will forget about it...I hope!
