| Tuggy grrrrrrr noises My Mia makes this growl when tugging on her "drying" towel that is truly frightening. When tugging or playing with any of her other toys she has a playful grrrrrrrrrrrr thats funny, like any pup, but bring out the towel that I use to dry her feet when we come home from a walk and WOW her growl turns into a possessed kind of sound. At first I thought she was really mad at the towel and maybe I had accidentally hurt her when drying off her feet or something but it has nothing to do with any of that. She just makes this weird possessed sound whenever she sees that towel. I had it laying on top of an end table the other day and she dragged it down and was playing roll around on it and making that noise, so I tried to pick it up and she started to play tuggy and this noise got louder and louder. It's honestly like she's trying to kill it, but she's not mad..... I can pat, tickle, kiss, rub her belly, anything I want but if she has her mouth on that towel that noise is coming out. It's weird. Do your dogs have different noises for different toys? I should try to video it to show you, its honestly the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

| Oh just growl back Yorkies Love tug play My Mike brings over my socks whenever he wants to play tug of war and he'll growl as if he's the meanest dog on the planet It's all make-believe It won't make her aggressive... in fact it diffuses some of her pent up energy

| We call that the "motorboat"! Tatum has a fierce motorboat going when we play tug. We like to get her riled up real good to hear it get even louder. And she looks so proud of herself when she's doing it too. It's so funny coming from such a small thing!

| I love her "mean dog growl" when we play tuggy, she's just so sweet and cute to be trying to be vicious, but this is on a totally different plane all together. It really does sound like she has rabies or something. It's just a totally differnent noise. I did a video of her playing with one of her favorite tuggies and then I pull out the towel and its like a sceen from the exorcist, lol. I keep waiting for the pee soup to come spitting out I just can't figure out how to post it online. Tuggy is by far her favorite game and we play it for hours at a time. She has one of those Skineez raccoons (what an awesome toy!) that she drags around with her like a security blanket.

| Skeeter growls fearcely when we are playing tuggy with his stuffed wolf. He likes to fetch it too. Sometimes when he brings int back he starts growling which makes for a very unusual sound as he bounces along. LOL |
