Kaji isn't really a rescue, but he sure acts funny sometimes. He's afraid of almost everything. It took me a few months (2 or 3) to get him to want to play. At first it was just chase and I was the only person he would play with. If anyone else tried, he would cower and run to me to hide. Fast forward another month or 2, and he started to show interest in toys. He started to fetch a full sized tennis ball. He went mad for it! But, he would not play outside with other dogs. Fast forward to the present, and he is a fetching fiend! He loves his squeaker balls, squeaky toys, and this cat toy that he loves to "kill." He still won't play with many people, but it's a whole lot better. Next step, agility class. |
Aw! This is a precious story. I wish more folks knew just how long it can take for a doggie to "blossom". Love and patience are miracle workers! At first she would only play with a superball and only for a minute or two... now we have a full toy portfolio to choose from. hee hee
Squeaky toys -
(although I found out the wrong way that stuffed toys can be choking hazzards - why do they fill them with batting?!)
Tiny bouncy "superballs" -
Old sock knotted as a "tugger" -
Stuffable "Kong" chew toys -
Oh - now I have to try tennis balls and cat toys! I could see a tiny mouse being a big hit.
CUTE! Play makes the day!
