| Toys: have you thought of using these for your toy stubborn puppy?... Jack is a stubborn puppy to buy toys for. They have to be thee smallest stuffed animals and even then it's a 80-20 shot he won't play with them. We have recently discovered that he loves CAT TOYS! How funny is that?! He loves the little hollow balls with a bell in it and the little mice. He really likes tissue paper as I was reorganizing my teaching materials and he got a hold of a piece. Well we found these little balls of what looks like crinkled up wrapping paper into a secure ball form. He just loves it because it makes the noise like tissue paper. And we also found these furry balls. I am posting this for those that can't seem to find toys your puppy will play with. I do watch Jack when he plays with these toys as they are easily destructible for him after so long. I hope this helps someone.

| My dogs love cat toys. They steal them all the time. They also love the Hide a Squirrel and Hide a Bee toys. The small size.

| I am really considering purchasing a hide-a-squirrel but I am concerned that Jack won't play with it. Which means that we could possibly have another toy just sitting around. We just bought him this tiny chipmonk toy today and they only reason he is playing with it is because I put a few of his treats in there. Had I not done that I don't think he would really play with it. He loves things that make noise (except aqeaker toys.... they scare him) or extremely furry. I'm just not sure I am totally sold on the hide-a-squirrel thing.

| My pups are crazy about cat toys.....they have always been the favorites in the house. I think because they are smaller and they love the feathers, which I have to be very careful about them not swallowing those and the bells too. If I can I take them away but sometimes I end up cutting the bells and the feathers off, of course then they aren't as much of a hit. I have the Hide a Squirrel and my pup only plays with the squirrels....he loves them actually but he never got into the tree stump part....so that's the part that just sits and doesn't get used. My two pups love anything with a rope tied to it because they can pull and tug with each other and they also love the super soft plushy toys because I think they feel soft in their mouths.

| Yeah I read about that. I would only let him have it supervised like any toy. I am just not certain he will play with it. He would rather chew than play and when he does play it's with little fur balls or these crinkle balls I found. It's only small stuff that fits in his mouth. I think the squirrels may be too big for him to be interested in.

Senior Yorkie Talker | Gwen absolutely loves the little crinkle balls, she pounces on them and chases them around like there is no tomorrow, then she bites whoever (dog wise) tries to take them from her!

| I found them at this place here in Mankato called Pet Expo. They are 99 cents and Jack just loves them. I don't know where else you can find them. If you would like me to send you a few..... PM your address and I will gladly get them out to you no problem..... they are pretty cheap. They are technically cat toys but hey whatever makes them happy. I added a picture of it. It reminds me of like wrapping paper but it doesn't come out of the ball form. I added a picture so you can see what they look like.

Senior Yorkie Talker | I got mine at Wal-Mart in the cat toy section. I originally bought them for my cat but Gwen found them and went bonkers over them. I'm wanting to think they were like 99 cents for 3. I bought them for the cat for Christmas. Good luck!
