One of our dogs when I was growing up wouldn’t really play with any toys we bought, his favorite was the cardboard tube inside of paper towel rollsWhen we first got her she looked like a pup at all times.
Then there'd be the odd day / lighting / angle where she looked older
Now there's definitely more days we look at Lola and think she looks older vs she looks like a pup. It's kind of sad, she's not ancient by any means but time marches on and she won't be our little weird tiny rescue shepherd forever
We're on holiday in the borders and she's having the best time simultaneously guarding us and hiding from all of the nature outside.
Sidenote, I've spent hundreds on various different balls, fancy ones, cheap ones. The only one she's not burst is a fancy massive Kong one that cost me £30 and she won't touch it THAT thing in the photo is a cheap kickabout we found at her favourite spot near us. After a week of leaving it there I took it home and she adores it almost as much as her red frisbee. Somehow she's not managed to burst it either.

She might dig a jolly ball - they're super durable and come in sizes big enough that the dog can't fit their jaws around it (so playing with it is kinda herding it around with nose/mouth and there's no chance of bursting it)When we first got her she looked like a pup at all times.

Just tell her you pay her vet bill the moment she's paid for the vet bill of the other dogs her dog has hurt...There's a dog across the way that has attacked Lola and numerous other dogs in the street.
Her and Lola have just got into it and I think Lola's broke the other dogs wrist.
The old woman is away to the vet so we'll see what the score is in a bit.
Obviously we'll pay for any treatment but this woman sat and watched her dog off the lead attack Lola last year and does nothing when it's barking and lunging at any dog or person in the street, it's hurt other dogs and she's refused to pay for the vet bills so I'm in half a mind to tell her to fuck off.

That's awesome.
I'm not sure if it's resource guarding as she doesn't growl or get her hackles up but she 100% does not like giving her ball away when we're out here playing with it. She's learnt to leave it most of the time now but if she can keep it away from you, she will.
is this other dog off leash and roaming freea lot? Over here we have leash laws and I'm sure you do too. Perhaps you should call animal control and let them know what's happening.There's a dog across the way that has attacked Lola and numerous other dogs in the street.

Also, I don't know the rules around there, but here if an unleashed dog gets into a scuffle with a leashed dog, it's on the unleashed dog's owner, no matter which party ends up hurt.
