He only likes socks - YorkieTalk.com Forums

brazilian_cutie · 03-05-2007, 07:42 AM

Hey, My puppy (Nietzsche) is adorable and I love him oh so much, and i have to say I spoil him a lot too, i buy almost everything i can to make him as happy as possible, and he loves his snacks, but he has absolutely no interest for toys, i try everything to make him interested (even put meat sauce in one) and he keeps on ignoring them. The only objects that seem to get his attention are my sunglasses (i?m always running around trying to recover them), my socks and what used to be a stuffed monkey. Do you have any toy sugestions to help me out?Otherwise i?ll have to buy thousands of socks lol...

Yeah, socks are the best. Mimi likes that and her little tennis ball, but I have to roll it to her first.

Try to find the sock pal toy it's made of socks

We call Kiba the Sock Thief. He absolutely LOVES socks! It's really cute and all, but not so cute when he gets a hold of the dirty socks and tries to chuck them at me so I can play fetch with him.

Some of his other favorites are squeaky stuffed animals (which he enjoys tearing to shreds), and raw hide. I stuck a tennis ball inside of a sock and he seems to enjoy that as well.

Lily loves socks too, she even learned how to open my sock drawer enough to grab a few and run! She really loves a toy made by PetStages. It keeps her attention forEVER! http://www.petco.com/Shop/petco_Prod...yID_14804.aspx

Tia loves socks too! I took one of my woolly ones that I don't care for anymore and put her little tennis ball in where the toe is...she has great fun with that!

Booboo'smommy · 04-10-2007, 07:02 AM

OMG Mine love socks as well. I am always running after them to take my socks back. It's a pain specially when I really need to go out. I always bring two pairs with me and I throw one to them and put mine on while they are chewing away. I have achicken that they just LOVE. I'm glad to see that is not only my dog that's ''crazy''. LOL

yap, Momiji loves to steal socks from me and runs away try to make me chase her!!!!
Hazuki (my last yorkie who is in better place now) used to love my underwear..... Every time I bring in the freshly washed cloth in the room, she jumps in the hamper and steal my cleaned underwear..... It was O.K. as long as she was in MY room but sometime she runs away to the living room... Thank goodness I never had a pleasure to meet with my parents guests when I was chasing Hazuki....

Both our babies love socks!! That's why I had Sonja from Pocomutt make Crosley the " Sock, what sock " shirt. Crosley loves to take it right off your foot as you are trying to put it on and run like the wind with it!

I think he likes your sunglasses and socks so much because he always sees you with them. Then when he gets them you chase him for them (which he sees as playing). Mine always want what we have. For example, Wes always wants pens because he always sees us with them and he's never allowed to have them.

Here is my advice...make a big deal over his toys: pick them up and squeek them and act like they are the best things ever. LIke you are having so much fun with them. That might get him interested.

I was doing a project with fleece for a few days. During those days I kept shooing Wesley away from the material because I didn't want him to tear it up. When I was done, I made him a rope toy out of the scraps. He thought it was the best thing ever. He carried it around with him. I know it was because I was so involved with it for days and finally I was sharing it with him.
