Indestructible

Most balls don't stand a chance with Fudge.
Footballs and tennis balls certainly don't.
But so far, this Sliotar, is proving indestructible.
Made from stitched leather, it's used in the Irish game of hurling.
It will be interesting to see how long it can withstand Fudge's sharp Labrador teeth.

There was once a fumble-footed opposition leader who asked one of our most acid-tongued Prime Ministers why he wouldn't call an early election. The response was "The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly." (Parenthetically, I should mention that he did indeed do so.)
From the look on Fudge's face in the background I think that this ball may be suffering the same fate.
I like the double curve of the ball itself, and Fudge's stance "wrapping" around it.

It's looking pretty good so far. Great selective focus and depth of field. V.

They should hire Fudge to test all their balls! Terrific shot. V
P.S. Did it last long?

Fudge will have a good attempt at it's demise.

A Fudge-proof ball... who would have thought. :) Fun shot!

Wonderful shot! Looks like Fudge is more than ready to accept the challenge with this new ball. I'm betting on Fudge :-)

Hurling is a fascinating game with the ball reaching tremendous speeds but we'll see if it is any match with Fudge :0) V
