obsessed with fetch!

[Denny]

Abby, my 3lb. 16 month old is totally obsessed with playing fetch. Now, of course, its because I've given into her whining and dropping the toy at my feet, or on my head. She is so stinkin cute! I'm sure I should start distracting her with other fun yorkie games. I just bought the one where you hide little stuffed squirrels into a tree trunk and they have to pull them out. The toy said it helps to develop motor skills and brain function. lol. I just wanted to share. Anyone else have a baby that loves fetch?

Bubba loves fetch. He is constantly shoving a ball or Wubba at me.

Yes!

They are so obsessed we have to have a designated time for fetch with their "special" balls. They get 25 minutes straight every night...I like to think of it as their structured cardio. Once fetch time is over, the balls go back up high where they can't get to them. There are millions of other toys to play with during the day, and they can play fetch with those (and often do), but there is something special about their balls. I think I spend most of my day fishing toys out from under the sofa!

Fetch time looks a little something like this:

This is towards the end of the fetch session, so they are actually a little slower than normal!

Silver LOVES fetch! She will bring any toy she owns to you when she wants to play. When she's done playing she will simply just not bring you the toy anymore.

My daughter's yorkie, Gremlin, loves to play fetch. He wants to play it forever. My husband is glad I did not get Gypsy from the same breeder though if he had another pup available I would have. I could not have kept up the fetch he demands. It amazes me that Gypsy and Gremlin are so different, she would rather laze around like me, while Gremlin is always on the move like my dtr.

Yess!!! My little guy would play fetch all day if he could! He is a lunatic I have to hide his toys sometimes otherwise he will not relax I love it!

Join the club. One of mine is addicted to fetch and stares at me if I dont indulge him, and he insists on fetching at all times, other than brief breaks for eating and sleeping This is different behavior from my other two who are/were never addicted to fetching. Lately, he also has been happy to play tug-of-war between tossing his rope or whatever. That is a nice change, but I think he'd fetch with a little tug of war in between forever.

He is also most interested in motion and loves to bark at anything outside he is unfamiliar with or wants to chase down, like squirrels or birds. I think these traits are related.

Rusty is addicted, Bubbles like to play too. Whenever he wants to play he will bring a toy and touch my leg with it, until I indulge him....He will follow me around pushing the toy at my leg! So cute-but annoying..
