Im kind of happy others have this problem... Laci is the biggest pain with the ball its soo annoying sometimes. Ill play ball with her outside or inside for over an hour, then Ill throw it a few more times and let her get it.. from there she sits under the chair and makes this aweful squeaking noise, until I get up and try to chase her around the house, then she hides somewhere with the ball and wants me to throw it but continues to make that noise.. she can do this for several hours... then she buries it in my covers and digs and sleeps with it..
