Was entsteht, wenn sich ein Künstler der deutschen Sprache verschreibt, auf die tägliche Dosis Lesestoff mit selbst gepanschten Wörtern reagiert und diese in einem Blog publiziert? Nach zwanzig Jahren Arbeit legen René Gisler und seine zahlreichen Co-Autorinnen und Co-Autoren nun ein geballtes Sprachkunstwerk vor, das seinesgleichen sucht. Mit dem "Thesaurus rex" wird die umfangreichste je gedruckte Enzyklopädie an Worterfindungen Wirklichkeit. Bei den mehr als 16'000 Einträgen geht es aber nicht darum herauszufinden, was mit dem Alphabet klanglich oder experimentell nun noch so anzustellen wäre, so wie es etwa Dadaisten oder Vertreter der Lautpoesie praktiziert hatten. Vielmehr orientieren sich die Wortschöpfungen am ganz normalen Wortschatz. Koseworte werden erweitert zu "Narkoseworte", Information und Ration fusionieren zur "Informration", und mal fällt auch ein Buchstabe weg und die Wirklichkeit wird als "Wirkichkeit" entlarvt. Die schiere Menge an Wortneuschöpfungen suggeriert Ernsthaftigkeit und Seriosität. Ein Versprechen, das die Herausgeberinnen und Herausgeber aber glücklicherweise nicht einlösen - denn die Bleiwüste lebt.

Not indestructible, but dogs love it
Color: Green
My dog LOVES this toy. Unfortunately, she loves it so much she destroys it. I have now purchased FOUR of these, but if left unattended for 5 minutes, my American terrier breaks this apart. She loves it so much though, I keep buying replacements. This is a wonderful enrichment toy, but you must keep an eye on your toothy friend.

Engaging and Fun, But Lacks Durability for Strong-Gripped Dogs
Color: Green
The internal mechanism of this toy works very well, and the ball’s movement immediately caught the attention of my Boxer pup. He was absolutely fascinated and spent hours each day playing with it. However, while the toy’s design is engaging, the durability of the exterior leaves much to be desired—especially for dogs who tend to pick things up with a firm grip. We didn’t know what to expect since our pup hadn’t previously played with an interactive ball, so we supervised playtime and made sure to store the ball in a safe spot when we couldn’t keep an eye on him. Despite this, the ball didn’t hold up. Our pup wasn’t intentionally chewing it. He simply carried the ball in his mouth when we moved downstairs or to another room, yet the grip while he carried the ball caused significant damage to the exterior. Within about a week of regular use (approximately 40 hours in total), the ball’s outer layer became deeply gouged by his teeth. To clarify, my pup wasn’t biting down hard or trying to destroy it, but his natural grip while carrying the ball left deep grooves in the surface. In just days, these gouges made the exterior sharp to the touch and compromised the structure. By the end of the week, we couldn’t screw the cover back together after removing it to recharge the ball, which made it unusable. And I was dismayed that there aren’t replacements readily available. Overall, my pup absolutely loved this toy — it was engaging and kept him entertained for hours. However, if your dog has a strong grip or frequently carries toys in their mouth, this may not hold up as well as expected. It’s a great concept but needs a more durable outer layer and replacement hard covers to make it a long-term investment.

My dog loves this ball
Color: Green
The battery on this lasts forever. The random on/off motion and when it gets touched inducing motion just keeps my dog guessing and occupied for a long time. My dog's tail is wagging the whole time.

Great ball
I have bought two of these in different colors. My Yorkie loves them. They’re very interactive even if you don’t put the cover on it they move and if he’s not playing with it, it tends to go into sleep mode.My Yorkie got the cover off the ball within the first two minutes. But he loves the ball. Now bought 2nd ball. The ones with covers don’t work he rips the covers off.

Super Fun
Color: Green
One of the most entertaining things you could buy. The dogs go crazy over it and have so much fun. It's a bit loud on hard floors, but honestly worth it for the laughs. Seems pretty durable too. I have 2 labs; one started out uninterested and the other started off scared of it, but not too long after, they both started going crazy, tossing and carrying it around while it shook.
