Chizziewink is obsessed with her ball, she has a severe case of OCBD (Obsessive Compulsive BALL Disorder). She can entertain herself for hours on end with a ball. The problems started when Chizzie's ball got stuck under the couch - she barked and whined until I got it out. Then it happened again, and again. Because the ball started getting "stuck" more often than I wanted to fetch it out for her, I bought her a bigger ball that WOULD NOT roll under the couch. End of ball troubles, right? W R O N G!!!!

So the bigger ball got stuck behind our entertainment center which is huge and heavy. One afternoon I caught her red-footed .... she would take the ball to the back of the entertainment center and drop it then use her nose to STUFF it out of her reach - she would then look around and start barking and whining endlessly until someone took pity on her (or got tired of listening to her) and would fetch it out.

I put the ball on the counter and she looked at the counter and barked until I finally took it out into the garage -- unfortunately she saw me and she laid at the garage door and barked for hours....

Poor Chizzie isn't allowed to play with balls anymore. She tried stuffing her plush animals behind the entertainment center, but she couldn't push them out of reach. Poor poor Chizziewink!
