| Anybody else have a Yorkie that tosses things? Polo (lil Freak), will get a treat ,,, and proceed to whip it in the air 5-10ft... run and chase it... whip it again... It is hilarious. I need to video tape it... He loves doing it with ice cubes. Yes I know how dangerous Ice is... I make sure its a small piece first and am close by in case of choking, but it really doesn't matter, cause he plays ice hockey with it all over the kitchen floor!

| Haha my Doodlebug does this too. He use to have a stuffed animal that had a hard ball inside that he tossed sideways, flew across the room and crashed into the wood blinds on our picture window!

| Sammy does that too if we drop an ice cube on the floor. He also does that with his vitamin and treats too. He throw it then he pounces on it! It's so cute the way they amuse themselves. |

| Tibbe loves to throw his treats and his toys and then "get" them, too, growling and shaking them. He can play and play this way. I try not to say or engage too much during his playtime as I notice that with my dogs in the past, they can get habituated to my involvement in their playing and soon, unless I am involved, won't play much as adults. Tibbe did not know how to play at all when I first got him but once I activated each of his toys or treats by baiting him with it, throwing it a couple of times and so on, he began learning to play and decided he loved playing alot. Soon, all he did was play and throw his treats and toys and have a ball. I noticed after I'd had him about 3 mos., he'd started looking to me when he had toys, baiting me by throwing his toys at me or coming and pushing one in my hand, wanting me involved as when I first taught him to play or activated one of his toys. And I do play with him a lot but I don't engage in all his sessions as I want him to continue to play a lot on his own, using his own imagination and play skills. This is when he does the most treat/toy throwing as your little Polo does, playing all by himself. It is really cute to see a Yorkie playing all by himself and just having all the fun in the world! Polo is just so cute! How old is he? Is he your very first Yorkie?

| Rosie throw's her toys, and then goes after them too. It's fun to watch her do it.

| Ziva tosses her toys across the room! I think it started by accident while she was shaking one and it went flying, she got such a good reaction from us laughing she does it when no one will play with her! |

| Princess is the same way, she will do it as a last straw to get someone to play with her. Of course it gets my attention and has me cracking up!

| Molly tosses her toys. It is so funny how she growls, shakes the toy and then flings it in the air. It is cute how she looks for her toy if she has flung it to far and it gets hidden somewhere. |

| Kaji tries to bounce his ball like I do. When he can't, he just tosses it and chases it down. Sometimes he just can't wait for me to drop everything and toss the ball for him.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Ha ha funny thread, Joey tosses his bully stick at me, until I soak the tip to make it softer for him. I can't believe how fast he trained me.

| Yep, Peanut does. He doesn't get in too close then the girls are playing anymore so he will toss his Eore in the air and play by himself. He will also stand Eore on all 4 feet in the hallway and wait for me to come out of the bedroom and kick it to him. He's a silly boy! |

| My Moochie does and I love it. lol. Usually, with a special treat AND when she loves paper towel or tissue so if she does get a piece of that - she will roll it around in her mouth, fling it and then go after it. When she plays - she will shake her head, growl and bark. Soooo funny! |
