Hexagon balls

I hope this does not offend you, but I am going to make several fo these for my Golden Retriever, Annie. She loves balls and stuffed toys, so these are the best of both.

Actually pentagons!

No offense whatsoever, Peggy. I, too, have a Golden Retriever who loves to play. My suggestion for a "tougher" ball: I have used leftover pieces of batting and rolled them together tightly, holding the "mass" together with some cording. Then place inside the pentagon ball and closed off. This makes for a sturdier ball.
