Rusty is such a Yorkie at heart. He could swallow Eddie and Jack in one bite, but he plays nicely with them. Here they are in one of what has become a nightly game of Chase Eddie.

YouTube - Yorkie and Lab burn up energy

aw you can tell their having so much fun! Your backyard is like a gymnasium for them!

I saw on youtube you have a video of Jack on the teetertotter (sp?) That's one of the cutest videos ever! It looks like Jack doesn't know if he loves the teeter totter or is afraid of it!

Thanks. Ha, Jack is fearless. That teeter has collapsed on him several times, forcing him to jump off sideways, but he goes right back on it -- well, if there's a treat on the other side.

I think it's so cool! I want to get one for Rocky and Bella now, did you have to train Jack to go on it?

I had to train Eddie. He was hesitant at first. But Jack saw Eddie do it once, and he went right up there no problems. That may have helped Eddie get over his fear.

I just googled homemade agility equipment and found some instructions on making a teeter.

Cool! Thanks for the info. I'm going to see if I can even find a small one at a garage sale or something, I'm in a townhouse so I really don't have a yard to put it in.

Fun video! Your dogs are so well behaved! Was that a spray bottle of water if they start to bark? You guys must be so relieved to find all your toys are still there after all that snow it must have been buried under!

MeganS · 05-09-2008, 09:31 PM

LOL what a cute video! I love the captions.

Thanks. Yeah, I resorted to the spray bottle because my guys had started fencing with the neighbor dogs, running back and forth and barking. It only took about two sprays each for them all to stop.

But it didn't work with the neighbor dogs. They just got angrier. The owners are terribly irresponsible. They don't even tell them to quiet down.

And, yes, you wouldn't believe all the toys I'm finding. But most of them were buried in the planters.

Thorsmomma · 05-09-2008, 10:05 PM

I'd be finding something else to shoot at those dogs...Okay just kidding...but ya gotta love irresponsible pet owners...

Ha! You Canadians! Always thinking of doing things the old-fashioned way, lol. I admit to thinking of using a garden hose with spray connection, but that's as far as my twisted mind has taken the idea so far.

American...just for the record! Well kudos to you for being such a patient neighbor!

Oh my gosh, Eddie reminds me of my sister when we were growing up:

you want this? huh? huh? come on...get it. Ha! (runs away)
you want this? huh? huh?

Rusty wouldn't eat a yorkie. We have proof. When he and Tucker used to play, Tucker would stick his entire head into Rusty's mouth, and Rusty would just sit there with his mouth open, waiting for him to take it out!
