    Question about ball playing

    Hi all
    I have a question I have 2 Golden Retreviers and they love to play ball, however my back is killing me. Does anyone know if there is a product out there that I can pick up ball without bending over. I have looked everywhere!

    Any advice would be great

    Thanks

    How about something like this:

    I see people with these things at the dog park all the time and they can pick up the ball with it without bending over too. It helps you throw the ball too! http://www.gundogsupply.com/chuckit.html
    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.

    I have often thought that Lou Lou needs to have one of those machines that shoots tennis balls out for people practicing tennis by themselves! I think they make a things sorts like the ez grab thing but made for tennis balls!

    Here is a site for what I was thinking about: http://www.gundogsupply.com/chuckit.html

    I love my ChuckIt! i have the jr. which throws just as far, but isn't as long. They are also great to bounce the ball. The best part is not having to touch Penny's dirty ball. It's a simple design, and they are under $10. You can buy them at PetSmart.

    Thanks so much

    Yes I hate picking up the dirty ball! My dogs go nuts as they love to play! I saw on the web they have on Petsmart.com I wonder if they sell in the stores. I'll give them a call

    Also a Jai alai stick lets you not only scoop up the ball, without bending depending on your height, but fling it without having to touch it once it gets all muddly and slimy! Don't know how popular the sport is where you are, but they usually have a kid's plastic version at toy stores.
