Tank the dog doesn’t have very much stuff: one necklace, one bone, a Mambo Movers blanket bed, and Chuck-It. I avoided this plastic ball-throwing device for many years because, like a moron, I thought it was for sissies. Nay! Not only is Chuck-it fun to say (try it: chuckit chuckit chuckit), but it helps me to throw a muddy dog-slobbered tennis ball the entire length of the Clark Park Bowl (well, almost). If you’ve never been to Clark Park, the bowl is a concave area around the size of a football field, where folks play soccer in the dust and dogs frolic and interesting community events unfold. If you go daily to the Bowl, people will start to address you as Your Dog’s Name+Person: “Wow! Look at Tank run! Tank’s Person used to have a good arm. Now it’s bionic!”
