RIP, indeed. Knerr will definitely live on in legacy!
I know, I used a frisbee just this last week with my dogs. They love chasing & catching them.
Just the frisbee alone is a worthwhile legacy.
our dog, ferdy-boy, can turn a frisbee into a doily within five minutes.
i'm going to get me a new hula-hoop to use as an exercise tool - get rid of the..ahem...christmas gift that showed up around my middle...if you know anybody who's missin' some extra pounds, send them my way!
nanc: doily...lol! Our dogs do the same thing. We used to buy expensive frisbees. Not any more.
