A Spencer's Run Reminder:

Please be cautious and mindful about what types of balls and toys are given to your dogs and or cats.  Small balls and small toys could easily get lodged in the dogs throat or even swallow them. 

The simple rule is; If it fits into their mouth then its too small for them to play with.
