I have always had my Chloe and she has never played w/ toys until the other day! She found an old cat toy as we were moving and she went nuts w/ it! I always thought she acted a little like a cat...lol! It is so nice to see them play. I have invested in every dog toy imaginable and only my baby plays w/ them most of the time!

What a cutie! I'm so glad that you've given her the chance to be a LOVED puppy!

awe what a darling little girl and I am so glad she is finally playing and being what she is a sweet little yorkie...

Cages and kennels will do that to them..

Finally, today, she responded! I

still can't believe my eyes! She actually attacked a little ball for a few minutes, and she is chewing on a little dog biscuit as I type! (Which she has always turned her nose up at) I am so thrilled that that I can't even begin to express it. I will post a picture of her playing when I get them downloaded.

Isn't it great when a little one like that learns to play. My little puppy mill Chihuahua had to learn to play with toys, too. It took a while, but she loves her toys now.

Sweet girl!

I have only had one adult Yorkie that really loved chasing any toy you would throw and she was obsessed with doing that. I am glad your girl has found a wonderful loving home.

I agree with you there. It is not always the case. But in Polly's case, she was not given a chance to know how to play.

Isn't that funny?! I have the same type of situation going on with my Yorkie here.

Thanks everyone for all of the wonderful encouraging comments.

What a little angel she is. I found the best way to get Joey interested in a toy is to drop it. He's there in a flash!
