You said: One of my gals makes a gift of her balls. She offers them up in great affection. She lays them on my husbands side of the bed, occasionally on the pillow.

Are they slobbery tennis balls?
They do bring smiles everyday.
I was visiting friends not long ago, and as we sat in the living room, their three dogs competed with each other the first half hour of the visit to see who could shove their way closest to me for petting. Finally they had all gotten their fill and went and laid down. In their minds, I had come there to see *them*. Three doggies in the living room can be a whole lot of canine energy.
(Am allergic to cats, though, so am not able to have a hands-on meet-n-greet at cat owners' homes. The folks I was visiting didn't have kitties, thankfully.)

No slobbery tennis balls.
My lab thinks tennis balls were made to be peeled.
They both have jaws like an alligator. They are restricted to solid rubber balls or kongs.
