I know, this isn't happy stuff, but it just didn't fit into most categories here. But, I figured it would be a good thing to bring to your attention incase you haven't heard about it.

I got this link via email from someone who works at the animal shelter that I volunteer at. So sad. And the video and pictures are pretty graphic for those who are sensitive to that sort of thing.

So, for those of you who are too sensitive to look at that site, there is a toy from the company Four Paws Inc. called the pimple ball with bell. It's a pinkish ball with little things that look like pimples sticking up on it, and I guess there is a bell inside of it. Anyway, the ball has a hole in it that apparently if a dog puts its tongue near, it will get sucked in, causing some really awful injuries. Like the dog in the story I posted ended up having his tongue amputated because of his injuries from this toy. That is really really sad.

So, if you have bought this toy for your dog, I recommend taking it away from them, or not giving it to them at all. I definitely hope a lawsuit is placed to this company becaus no dog should be getting injured from playing with a toy they love.
