| entertainment for my yorkie I take my 8 month old yorkie to work with me and he has he own little office area where he is in durining the day. I take him out on bathroom breaks and take him out at lunch time to play. Does anyone have any good ideas on self entertainment for him during his time in his area. He has a ball, rope & animal but he seems bored. I would like him to have fun and I know you always come up with cleaver ideas. |

| awee, how cute.. his lil office area. now im jealous. My lil wookie is home all day by himself. But thankfully hes getting better with the pee and poo I got wookie one of those Kong toy treat things, and it takes him forever to get it out, and he never stops.. maybe that would be a good distraction. Or maybe one of those bobble toys.. the ones that bounce and jump and move all over? im sure he is just thankful that your able to take him to work with you |

| I agree with Dena, try a kong or other brand of toy that you can hide treats inside of. It will keep him busy trying to get the treat out. I think I have seen toys that light up and talk or make noises when they're touched or moved. That might entertain him also. |

| How about a wiggle-giggle ball to break up the monotony once in a while?

| I just recently bought a slinky pet off ebay. It's animal from the muppets. It has long arms and legs and a slinky for the body. If you have some place you could hang it he could pull on it and let it spring up. It might be fun for him. My little guy loves his but someone else has to hold it so he can pull on it.

| Entertainment A small plastic pop/water bottle. Put a couple of hard kibble dog food in it. Buddy loves to knock it over and chase it around the room until the kibble falls out and then he gets a snack. If that takes too long sometimes, he takes it to his bed and turns it upside down and dumps it out. If the floor is tile though, it can be quite loud! |
