Desperate...looking for giggle.... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I need your help in finding a particular type of toy!

Long story...short of it. My dad was given a gag gift last April for his bday at work. Nina got it a month ago when he found it in a drawer. It is a happy face ball that giggles..just like a child's giggle. Well Nina loves it and as smart as these little ones are she walks it up her doggie stairs and drops it so it giggles. Well the batteries apparently died or the mechanism broke and it doesn't giggle anymore. When it stopped giggling she got so mad that after dropping it a few times, she started barking at it and looking at me. I bought her two doggie balls that advertised to giggle but they really don't they just make a squeaky sound when rolled. She is not interested. Thought of opening it up and possibly replacing the battery but she might bite the stuffing out.

I have looked in the internet and dog stores and haven't found any toy that is similar. If you see or know of any let me know...please. It must giggle like a child's laugh.

What we do for these furbabies

Grayson loves loves talking toys we just discovered this with a duck he loves. I understand how important this toy is.

I hope you find another one!

It is. Nina loves to play with it. She would carry it up to our bed using the doggie stairs and drop it by pushing it with her nose and go and do it again. I am so glad she will have it again.

You are quite welcome. No problem at all. I enjoy doing things that makes the furbabies happy.

When the furbabies are happy . . . we are all happy.
