| Yorkie loves to play ball Ok, so my 21/2 year old yorkie is obsessed with tennis balls! She watches your hand movements and then knows whether to run deep or shallow. She will put the ball in my lap, and just sit and watch me and the ball! I asked my vet about it, and he said this is not common to the breed, but it is good exercise for her. She will do this for hours! Anyone else out there with a yorkie who loves to play ball? |

| Blaze LOVES them too! I will run after it and bring it back for you to throw again over and over and over again! He never seems to get tired of this game. My hubby just found these tiny little tennis balls that squeak (there for dogs) and you would think they are covered in liver flavored paste or something, he is a mad man w/them. We actually have to hide them at times! Its pretty funny!

| Oh yes, my two older babies would play ball 24/7 if I allowed them to, they get great exercise from it! My newest baby could care less about the whole thing but every once in a while he will intercept the ball just to torment his brother and sister - LOL!

LOL Chloe does this too...she'll watch my cocker spaniel (Bailey) go nuts for the ball and go back n' forth, I guess until she's decided she's had enough of the bouncing back and forth...she'll run after it and my cocker spaniel will drop it for her to play with, she just loves her sissy..Chloe will grab an ity bity piece of the hair on the tennis ball and carry this HUGE tennis ball into the house and hide it...booger...hehehe T

| Turbo has about 8 balls throughout the house. If he has one, and you pick up another, he forgets about the one he had and goes for the new one! haahaha

| Sebastian loves to play ball too! He also loves when I throw his stuffed animals around for him to chase too . When I was pregnant and couldn't move around as well he would bring the ball/stuffed animal back to me for me to throw again so I could just sit in one place while we played. It was so cute!

| Bentley doesn't like ANY toys unless someone else is playing with them. If my other dog (a mixed breed that looks like a bear cub) gets a toy Bentley HAS to have it and will even wrestle Cubby to get it. The minute Cubby becomes disinterested in it, Bentley doesn't want it anymore. What a Brat.

| Tucker could chase the ball for hours, but Lexie just sits watching him thinking "look at him doing all that work, while I still get treats and just sit here in mommy's lap. Stupid dog." Lol. She is the smart one |

| Maverick has those little squeaky tennis balls and he LOVES them. He goes crazy when I make them squeak. I just sit on the couch and throw it and he'll bring it back to me over and over again. I try to play ball with him every time I'm leaving or right before bed to wear him out. |
