flan has always had a preference for toys made of tennis-ball felt. she is a purist. she likes just plain tennis-balls, too, and lately is rarely seen without one in her mouth. she takes them out to eat, but that's about it.

so we went to cutter's mill, which is like the whole foods market for pets, and in addition to a lot of fancy food and treats, got her this big tennis-jack, which obviously, she likes.
