Tetley and his water bottle - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Safire · 07-24-2007, 02:09 PM

Tetley seems to have found a new toy all by himself. He found an empty Naya water bottle and amused himself for a whole day just chewing on that bottle. He loves the crackle crunch noise it makes. After chewing on it for days he still hasn't managed to put a hole in it, and now he sleeps with the thing. Wierdo!

My lil Izzie has a couple of the water bottles, she loves playing with them also.

Yesterday I tried adding some of her kibble to one which really kept her occupied trying to get the food out....

suki loves them too! i give her the diet pepsi bottles, they are smaller and the plastic is thicker. she even likes to play with the 2 liter bottles! it is so cute when she drags that around the house!

Reeses LOVES water bottles. When I finish drinking a 16 oz Dasani water bottle I will flatten it in the middle with my hand and put the lid on it. Reeses can amuse himself for hours. He eventually chews the lid off and works on the mouth of the bottle, at that point after he does a lil damage to the bottle mouth I take it and throw it away so he doesnt do any damage to his mouth. LOL!

My love empty water bottles. They will chase them all over the house. Jack goes nuts over empty soda cans.

That's great! Thanks for the idea! Tetley hates eating kibble so maybe he'll eat it out of his bottle. I'm going to try that!

Safire · 07-25-2007, 04:31 PM

It worked! I'm so happy!

He's fully entertained by his treat-dispensing water bottle. I added a few cheerios to the bottle as well so he never knows whether he's getting a kibble or treat - and he's eating both. Keeps it interesting I guess

Funny how yorkies prefer to work for their food

I agree....Izzie was fine eating morning and evening outta her bowl, but just this past week she has decided to not want to eat...at least this way I can be sure to get some nourishment into her....What ever it takes to kep our babies happy

Emma used to LOVE them too, just be careful when they actually start chewing the bottles-Emma pooped glossy green plastic a couple times after that, and I also found tiny pieces stuck in my carpet!
