Fun Homemade Toy......... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

The furbabies loved this. I bought some wild chenille knee highs and stuffed an empty water ball in it. Tied the end and presto a fun new toy to play with. And much cheaper than the ones you can buy already made for the water bottles.

Warning....Gracie was playing with it, walked away for a moment. When she started to walk back up to it the bottle made a pop sound and totally startled her. I got that look.....Mommy, what was that!!!!!

I saw this same idea in a 'doggie' magazine. They even went so far as to embroider a face on it. I took an old pair of socks that I knew I would never wear again, put in the water bottle, tied a knot put in a squeaker from an old destroyed toy, tied another knot, then put the other sock over all and tied. Viola! Roxie's new favorite toy! She loves it! She is constantly bringing it to me and leaving it on my feet to throw for her.

Ha...I just realized I said water ball instead of water bottle.

That sounds like a super fun toy!

My boys love empty water bottles stuffed in socks. They play with them every day.

SWEETIEPIE · 07-23-2011, 10:22 PM

That is a great idea.... I am going to make one! Thanks.

Lol i was thinking the same thing whats a water ball..

This is a great idea though!! I will probably try it in the coming months.

A water ball is bad proof reading by me. I meant water bottle.

Great idea. Jake loves socks and water bottles. Bet he'll go crazy for them together!

simpleplan · 07-26-2011, 10:43 AM

Great idea!

Paris loves his squeaky sock! I took a cotton sock and bought some toy squeakers from ebay 30 for 7.00. Put one squeaker in the sock and tie off the end with a hair elastic band. Get ready for some squeaky fun!

I'm new to this, and sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but when you say water bottle do you literally mean the type of water bottle a human would drink water from?
Just that we have just bought a doggie water bottle to take with us on long walks away from home.
Thanks

Yes, just a plain old empty water bottle.
