30 min. of trotting on the treadmill and 45 min. of fetch is apparently not enough to alleviate the bordom.  Dazzle was whining in the other room and scratching at the floor, so I went to see what the issue was, thinking he had gotten a toy stuck behind something.  Well the ball was stuck alright!
He had REMOVED the vent cover (why and how I don't know) and dropped not one, but TWO balls down the hole!  Then, of course, he was OBSESSED with getting them back.  Thankfully we have a basement so the A/C vents are accessable.  
Had to send my husband to the basement to manipulate the venting so that the balls would roll back toward the vent where I could reach them from above. 
Is it Spring yet?  Is the snow and ice gone yet? Dazzle clearly needs to get outside more! :-)
