What I think is funny is that she picks different favorite toys for fetch each day!

OMgoodness! I never had a dog that actually fetched until I got Dolce. I just threw a toy one day and she brought it back. So I did it again, and lo and behold! She brought it back again! I think its just a natural instinct to her or something. Now, sometimes she brings it back but then doesn't drop it and wants to keep it to herself lol, but we are working on "drop it" lolz!

Smokey would be content playing by himself all the time, but Chip is so possessive over toys, he ends up right there in the mix of things. Smokey will throw the ball up in the air with his mouth then run after it. Sometimes he'll roll the ball across the floor with his nose, stare at it like he's concentrating, then pounce on it like a cat. Other times he'll randomly get one of his stuff toys and thrash it all around or just walk around squeaking it.

Chip was the one who would never play by himself... or correction - he would play with a toy by himself up on the couch or the bed or something up high, only for a few minutes, then he'd randomly "attack" it and push it off the bed. Then he would wait for one of us to get it for him. If we don't get it for him in a timely fashion, he throws a tantrum. Thankfully, Smokey is a good little brother and will usually retrieve it for Chip.

oh Ziggy does this. he'll play "stalk and pounce" with his teddy or my slippers (that look like teddy's) but soon enough he'll get bored and come over to play with me, lol

Bentley rarely plays by himself. Maybe once or twice a week for about 5 minutes he'll find a toy and chew on it but that's it. When we play fetch he rarely brings it back to us and drops it. He'll run and get the toy then walk off with it near us and chew on it. He's just never got the hang of giving it to us for us to throw it again.

I think if he had a brother or sister he'd be more inclined to play as there would be competition but right now he's an only furchild.

Yup...Sassafras does the same thing...and if she wants me to join in she lets me know by placing the toy by my foot and the sticking her butt up at me!!! Its sooo funny to see!!!

Gracie gets in a crazy mode and will grab a toy and run full speed through the house. She will stop and bark occasionally then take off again at full speed. Sometimes she will grab her ball and throw it and catch it and throw it and catch it. It is very entertaining for us as well as her. I think she is a bit of a show off.

Monkey only plays fetch by himself with carrots. They are his absolute favorite thing in the world. I love watching him play with his carrots! He will play fetch with us with his real toys too tho.

Jasper will play by himself a lot.....he plays fetch with his ball or anything really....also likes to bury his toys in his bed and then flip the bed over. So funny. He will shake and growl also....they are so funny. He will bring me the ball and sometimes even let me have it to throw.....working on giving us the ball. His toys are his toys....he doesn't like to share very well. ONLY CHILD also. LOL

Chloe often plays fetch by herself- it is quite entertaining. Both of my dogs are good at entertaining themselves.

Yes, that is one of Hannah's favorite things to do. She will throw it across the room and sometimes when she tosses it behind the couch, she will look at me to get it.

[Moses Mama]

Haha! Moses loves to throw stuff and chase it. He does play fetch with us....I taught him to bring it back by clapping my hands and squealing (yes, squealing)..."bring it to mommy! Bring it!!" And he got a treat when he brought it back. I started out by rolling the ball on the hardwood in the kitchen.. When he got the hang of it, we went outside and worked on it out in the yard! He's a good little fetched! Lol!

That made me laugh because Macy does the exact same thing when she is wet or just drank water, she always rubs her body all over the couch too. I always find it adorable when she does that.

Anyways, Macy is a people dog, not a dog dog. She doesn't like to play with dogs. I don't know why. I think it's because Macy is the only dog I have and she's used to that. One time my sister bought her dog (a bassnet hound) and he scared Macy.

The funny thing is though when Macy is outside, she sees another dog that is stuck in a fence, she'll go to them to bark (ONLY if dogs are in fences), but if they're out, nope, she doesn't like it, lol.

Macy loves people though. She goes crazy when we have visitors.

Austin does it too. On his own. He grabs his sponge bob squeaky toy, which is missing a leg and foot. Wonder how that happen... and runs around the house with it. When Chelsea see's him, she decides to chase him. Its cute. I need to take pics of that. Sponge bob is probably traumatized now..lol
