What size do you get for Toto? I can't decide between a small or medium! Tatum's about 5 lbs.

I was quite disappointed when I went Monday to our Petsmart and they don't carry these things at all in their store. It was supposed to be a birthday present for Tatum (today). I had to get her something else. I still plan on ordering one for her and Stormie.... I just have to figure out whether I need a small or medium for her. It would have helped to actually see it and hold it because I'm not sure about the size for Stormie (Aust. Shep.) either.

I have spent so much money on toys, she has no use for the kong toys, her favorite thing it the ice maker, the moment I walk into the kitchen, she comes running on hind legs because she knows that when I get crushed ice, some will hit the floor. My first yorkie and what enjoyment she brings to us.

Now I have nothing to keep her busy and engaged when I need to do something important - like get dressed.

I found it! It was in the laundry basket LOL

I'm gonna put some kibble in the middle and see if she will play with it again. I'll let you know!

Tink's Mom · 02-14-2007, 09:01 PM

Yes, it worked! She is happily nibbling away trying to get the kibble out. Woo hoo, saved by a toy!

Do you think they get sore tongues like we do like we used to get with jawbreakers?

I know my gals would love them but I don't want them to get a sore tongue.

Go with the medium definately. Lily is 3 lbs. and she uses the medium, the small is really small and may be easy to get into.

Thanks! I was originally gonna go with the small but the consensus seems to be that the medium is better so I'll get that. And I guess a large for Stormie.

Yep... I bought the small and mine are 5lbs and 7lbs... my bigger male cracked into in about 10 minutes

The medium looked huge next to them... but now I wish I would have gotten the bigger size... oh well... they still like it!

Tink's Mom · 02-15-2007, 06:21 PM

I put the kibble in betweeb the two end treats - she just looked at me and walked away.

So today I took out one end so she could get at the kibble and hold the ball better. She took it, licked it for 20 sec and pushed it under the couch and walked away.

Well so much for the everlasting dissapointment. So guess I';ll put it away for awhile and hope that she'll like it another time.

That's funny! Sorry it didn't work out for you! Mine love them and then will leave them for a bit and then love them again, mostly when the other one has it!

I got the small for LittleBit who is 4# and she seems very happy with it. Nothing substitutes for constant fetch with the bobo, though. I highly recommend PetGuys. They had the best price by 4 and it came super fast. I am still waiting for the Dr. Noys toys that I ordered much earlier from another site.

That is funny. AprilLove LOVES her treatball. She can spend 2hrs (so mommy can be on Yorkietalk hehe) on this thing. I use one on one side and treats inside and she loves it. Here some pics:

Little Bit played with hers for a little while when she first got it but hasn't gone back to it. Maybe she's too immature and wants instant gratification?

Just saw this .... I bought the small for Toto. She can't carry it, her little mouth is just too tiny!

She likes to lick it after she goes to bed so I normally just leave it in her little bed that stays on our bed!
