She brings the ball back to me, kind of flings it at me, but it lands on the floor. Sometimes she just races around the house with it and ends up on the couch with it. We also play tug of war with her other squeaky toy and then I will grab the ball and fling it so she has to run after it. I have a long enough hallway that she gets some exercise. She really loves to play and I love playing with her. |
Aw man, I’m sorry to hear that. Sounds like you are dealing with a lot of pain. I’ve had the cortisone injections and they didn’t work for me.. I also just had my nerves burned and that didn’t work either.. anyways- hopefully it will let up soon. Do you have pain meds to take? It really sucks being in pain, on top of it having a sweet little Yorkie look in your eyes and bring their ball to you and not understand. Thankfully for me Peanut understands, he will pretty much feeds off what I’m doing. When he wants to run he will bring me his ball, and I will lay on the couch and throw it down the hall! ( we have a long hallway too) Works perfect.. it’s amazing how much energy those little bodies can hold!!
Well that’s great she brings the ball back to you, since she does that you can probably work with her and teach her to drop the ball in your hands. Get a little bag of treats, when she brings the ball back tell her to “drop it” and stick your hand out with your palm open, try to keep your hand under the ball so when she does drop it the ball goes in the palm of your hand.. It sounds like she will be more than capable of learning that trick, then it will help you not have to bend over to get the ball from her.. plus it will teach her the “drop it” command, which is always a good trick to have!
