Nico got this Chuckit! Kick Fetch ball for Christmas a few years ago. It was meant to be a yard toy, but somehow, it’s made its way inside. Until recently, we kept Nico’s toy basket out of reach because he couldn’t be trusted not to destroy toys. Now his basket is on the ground, and our living room is a minefield of dog toys.
