The puppies are doing really well as you can see. WE had gotten a Frisbee for Jazzy, a cheap one, because we did not know if she would fetch with it. Well she did and the need now is for a heavier Frisbee…
Meanwhile the pups seem quite interested in it as a tug of war with each other. Quite hysterical how they maneuver it…
Of course I wanted to check out the background of this Toy. I found some rather interesting stuff actually.
The Frisbie Baking Company (1871-1958) of Bridgeport, Connecticut, made pies that were sold to many New England colleges. Hungry college students soon discovered that the empty pie tins could be tossed and caught, providing endless hours of game and sport. Many colleges have claimed to be the home of 'he who was first to fling.' Yale College has even argued that in 1820, a Yale undergraduate named Elihu Frisbie grabbed a passing collection tray from the chapel and flung it out into the campus, thereby becoming the true inventor of the Frisbie and winning glory for Yale.

Another Great Frisbee Moment: In 1968, the U.S. Navy spends almost $400,000 to study Frisbees in wind tunnels, following their flights with computers and cameras, and building a special Frisbee-launching machine on top of a Utah cliff to test a prototype flare launcher.
