What a smart puppy!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We bought Kahlua a ball that has a string with a ring on it that if you pull the ball vibrates. Its actually a cat's toy and was intended for our cat, but as with all of the boys' toys, Kahlua has claimed it. He was afraid of it at first, but within 5 minutes of Kahlua playing with it he had grown over his fear and learned how to hold on to the ball with his paws and pull the string with his mouth!!! He now does it over and over all day long. He will even bring you the ball for you to hold while he pulls the string!! We were so amazed. What a smart puppy at only 7 1/2 months. He's not good with learning tricks like roll over and shake, but playing with toys is his specialty.

We have one that's a mouse. It was purchased for our cat also, but she never really played with it. Logan has taken it over and does the same things your pup does. It's pretty cute and it's one of Logan's favorite toys.

That is so neat. If you guys don't mind me asking, where did you buy the toy and how much? Thanks........

THat is soo cute. I am amazed at how smart my little guys are too. The other day cosmo was barking at the sink and I couldnt figure out why. Then I noticed they were out of water

. He knew where the water came from, haha.

We actually found Kahlua's ball at Big Lots in the Pet section. It was only $1.99. I've never noticed them at Petsmart, Petco, Wal-Mart, or Target though, but they may have toys like them as well. I remember having toys like them as a child. They make them in all different kinds of shapes like mice, balls, etc. It has a plastic ring that is tied to a string and when you pull it, the object vibrates as it winds back up!! He loves it. I'm searching for another one since we bought the last one from Big Lots, so if you have any luck finding one let me know.

Thats so funny that they knew the water came from the sink. Kahlua's string had broken from his ball and he watched me fix it. Well the next day I saw him playing with it and saw the string pop because he bit through the string, and then he brought me the ball... I guess expecting me to fix it. It was so cute!!
