Ummmm.........what do they play with? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Fred loves all sorts of things, especially food! He'll play with it like it's a toy and then eat it, but I'm not sure that counts. He'll pounce on his treats and flip 'em around in circles.
Other than that, he loves plush squeaky toys as well. His favorite is a neon orange squeaky plush bone that he has with him 24/7. What he really prefers is the nearest house slipper. We also call him the "Sock Bandit" since he weaves in and out of rooms to pick up A sock (not the pair to make us find them easier, but he carries just one) from each room and gather them in his favorite spot on the rug in the kitchen. He'll surround himself with socks. That seems to occupy him for 30 minutes or so!

From the moment Lucy got her kong she didnt put it down (and that was about 2 1/2 years ago lol)! She loves anything that bounces and squeeks, anything she can push with her nose and most of all anything we dont want her to have that she can pick up in her mouth and run with!!

Baxter didn't like balls-I thought. My mom bought him one as a little gift, but he never played with it. A few days ago, I found these tiny, little balls-kind of like tiny tiny tennis balls. He will play with them. I guess the other was a little big-and it wasn't that big.

For a while, I gave my yorkie fleece toys and cotton toys. At Petco/Petsmart, they have really nice fleece toys made for Ferrets, which work really well for small dogs.

But now, my yorkie tears the heck out of every toy I get him, so I have to go rubber. No joke, the best toy thus far I have gotten for him is a regular children's Koosh ball. Doesn't tear or shred. And is great for playing catch and fetch. He loves it.

sfmadrigal · 05-03-2005, 01:22 AM

They sell a ball at petsmart/petco called a Holee Roller. It looks kinda big for a Yorkie, but since it is hollow and made of an open network of rubber, it's easy for them to pick up and carry. Also, since it is rubber, it's VERY sturdy, but still soft.

Yorkie_GirL · 05-03-2005, 01:40 AM

with all these toys you all are describing, now i know what kind of toys to find for Oreo and Ginger since they chew everything they can at my house!

Chichi · 05-03-2005, 06:20 PM

Violeta likes the little stuff, things she can handle, like tiny balls but soft and if they bounce better... she loves it when she's playing with it and it bounces she gets all exited and runs after it. She loves small stuffed animals, like little cows or snoopy. She also likes those bones that are for healthy gums. She has a lot of toys but she pays attention to them after she gets to know them... before that she wont touch them.

Honey · 05-06-2005, 04:52 PM

I worry because my pup doesn't like to play with ANYTHING!!! i've purchased many different toys (dog, cat or kid) none appeal to her

I'm going to try some of your suggestions and let you know how that works out!

Thanks everyone and have a great MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Neecy · 05-07-2005, 09:05 PM

Mackenzie actually really enjoys her flexable Nylabone....and the little Yorkie toy that came in the McDonalds happy meal...she is just vicious with that thing!..lol

Clioe · 05-10-2005, 12:29 PM

Miffy loves our old socks rolled up into a ball. She'd chew on them, carrying them by her teeth, sleep with them... She looks real cute. You know the cardboard tags that come with new clothes or new stuff? Yeah she likes those as well.

She has a bunny, a pig and a giraffe and they keep her occupied. If not, it's to her nylabone!

Hey! I got that little red thing with legs for Miffy too! But her mouth's too small to bite on it hyuk

BeccaGA16 · 05-10-2005, 12:35 PM

I agree with the person who mentioned sqeaky toys.. Maximus LOVES them! His favorite is a sqeaky Hedge Hog. He loves it because it makes noise, its fuzzy and its round (it rolls like a ball)...

He also found another favorite toy... a flower pot! Yesterday he jumped inot a small round flower pot with a little dirt in it and he was digging and circling for about 20 mins.

charlie bear · 05-10-2005, 12:59 PM

That crafty theft of the laudry is cute, but wow, nip that while you can because one day your gonna find them chewing on your favorite WHATEVER and they're not going to understand why you're throwing a fit. Plus, I heard recently of a pup who was chewing on towels, he ingested a lot of it, in long strings, and had to have intestinal surgery to have it removed. Lots of Money.

Hey great idea! My yorkie does the same thing to plush toys.
