Her favorite toy, though, is her Flippy-Flopper frisbee. She'll play for 2 hours then I still have to throw it to her when we get home! I live on the ocean, but there's a grassy area in which to play. I think dogs are prohibited, but nobody has said anything... yet Yeah, I don't really understand why bigger yorkies aren't wanted as much They're so much fun, but soo sweet, loving, and cuddly at the same time. But yeah, when someone brings a teenie tiny dog, all dressed up like a doll, I question their motives: did they want a dog or a doll? B/c they just don't have the spunk, or the poor dogs are too confined in their fancy clothes. It is sad

Uni's playgroup has 4 tinies, about 3 lbs each, and oh do they have spunk. They are always decked out, but they are hyper and love to play chase with each other. For special occasions they will wear fancy dresses, like at the xmas meetup, but they still play like crazy.

The ball launcher is a good idea...Stella always looks at my lame attempt to throw tennis balls for her and goes to the ball and looks at it but figures it's not worth it to bring it back 20 feet to me so she just runs away to do something else.

I'm bringing the video camera next time, I think the greyhound's lady said she goes every Thursday, so I'll hope she's there this week.

We just put down a new rug in our living room that is tiled, so Stella has been practicing her speed with Zoomies that now extend into three different rooms (dining room, living room, bedroom) from rug to rug. Going to video that next time it happens too...it's just too funny because her feet are moving just as fast on tile as she did outside chasing the greyhound (and she THINKS she's going that fast ).
