A Chinese-based company called Geefer Innovations LTD has produced a new pet toy called, "Geeball" described as an automatic rolling ball.

Once turned on, it rolls on its own and changes directions randomly, almost like a live animal. It even has LED lights to create additional "wow factor".

The company introduced it during World Cup Soccer, as a way for dogs can cats to enjoy their own brand of "futbol".

Geeball has a polyester surface and can be chewed on without harming your pooch. It's also waterproof and floats. In fact, the company recommends tossing it into the swimming pool for some water-doggie fun.

Bill Cheung, the inventor of the Geeball, was quoted in the press release as saying...

Absolutely, dogs and cats are sensitive with balls, once it rolls, their interests would be aroused. With the Geeball, your beloved pets would cheer up their own FIFA as well.

I have to agree. I'm sensitive with balls too.

Note: If you've wondered where I've been the past couple weeks, I've been on my motorcycle. From June 7 to June 18 me and a bunch of friends rode up the coast of California, the coast of Oregon, rode all the way east along the Columbia River, up to Spokane and Coeur D'Alene and back down central and eastern Oregon and California.
