Searching For "The" Ball - YorkieTalk.com Forums

xmasbaby75 · 01-22-2009, 06:29 AM

Okay, we all know how particular some of our babies are. Well, my Phantom is no different. He has a favorite ball, and it has definately seen better days. The problem is, I cannot find the right ball anywhere.

I am looking for a tennis ball (smaller size than normal). This particular one is pink (shh, don't tell him that) but the color doesn't really matter. Now, I have found many tennis balls that are the right size, but they are usually much more heavy & dense than the one he likes. Phantom's ball is a good bouncing ball, and it's pretty light. I think it may have come in a 3-pack sometime last year. Does anyone know what I am talking about??

I've seen many different size & colors of tennis balls in PetSmart and Petco, but I'm not sure they are exactly what you are looking for.

Can you post a picture?

I've seen the 3 pack of mini squeekers? Is this what you mean?

xmasbaby75 · 01-22-2009, 09:36 AM

No, there were no squeekers inside. I've checked Petsmart, and they do not have them either. The ones they have are the very heavy ones, that don't bounce well. I will try to get a picture of it later tonight and see if that helps! Thanks!

Hi I hope I know what you are referring to. At our Walmart, here in Brunswick, in the dog section, we got Baxter two to a package, mini tennis balls. We got the green ones but I think they also had the pink ones. No squeekers. Just a smaller tennis ball. Hope that helps. If you can't find them, let me know and I'll see if ours has them, and send ya a package. I know how they can get when favorite toys are gone. My Lhasa had a squeeky elephant when he was a baby, that his favorite aunt gave him. well it wore out, and do you think we can find another one. no.

Check at Petsmart and Dollarama, they have good selection...

Oh, thank you! I'll try Walmart and see what they have. I couldn't get any good pictures of it last night, because he won't let it go! He aboslutely loves this ball, and it is falling apart on him.

Try Walgreens for the elephant. Not sure if it's the same but I got one yesterday for $2.00. It's made by Milkbone for their 100th anniversary.

Meggers · 01-23-2009, 02:24 PM

My furbabies are the same way!!!! I get their balls at Target in the dog section. They do have a squeeker but at small, bounce, and soft=)

xmasbaby75 · 01-25-2009, 12:12 PM

Well, I checked Walmart and they didn't have it either. I was able to get a photo of it - maybe that will help. As I've said, it's seen better days!

abby2473 · 01-25-2009, 01:14 PM

Hmmm..I was thinking Walmart too. I got Willow & Jake small yellow tennis balls for Christmas called "toughballs" or something like that..they are a bit dense, but they do bounce.... I just got the new Petedge catalogue however and they have "Zanies Tennis Balls" in there in two different sizes and they have a pink one! Maybe that's it?

Yorkiekids · 01-25-2009, 01:51 PM

I don't know where you can get them, but boy did he do a job on that one. LOL

Tell me about it! He's wild about fetch!

keylargolady100 · 01-25-2009, 02:50 PM

They have them here, I check yest. It is 2 in a package, and they are yellow like reall tennis balls, only smaller. Boy has your buy done a job on that one lol. The package is $1.88. I would be more than happy to help keep your little guy happy. I remember how sad Zeke was when his elephant had to be tossed out. Ohhhh maybe it is me that was sad LOL. I felt so bad, because he loved it so much.

I went to Petco yesterday and bought a little tennis ball for $3's. Wasn't sure if it felt light enough for my new puppy coming home Thursday. Went by Walmarts..checked out the puppy toys and they had a 3)pack, one was a pink tennis ball. I paid $1.99 and they were perfect, weight, size, bounce, and it sounds like color. No more Petco toys for me! Good Luck
