I found Bailey the GREATEST thing!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

rrosenberry · 07-11-2005, 06:50 AM

Well as I told ya awhile ago, I got Bailey a kiddie pool for his birthday and he could care less, so over the weekend we had left over sand from another project,, so I put the sand in his pool and he wont get out of it! I literally have to drag him out of it!! Then, when we are in the house he sits at the sliding door and stares at it and whines!

If any of you guys have " diggers" like I do,,, try this, they will be in heaven.
I also buried some of his toys in the sand,, as if he didn't like it enough.

Awe!!! Such a good idea!!!!! Luig loves to dig. I just may have to try that!!!! Any pics of Baily in the "sand box"??? heheh

I was thinking about this actually...Maximus loves to dig and I was debating if I should buy him a little sandbox and hide things so he could dig and pretend to find it....I am in the process of looking for a little little one...for my living room so I can put it on top of newspaper on the floor and let him go at it...and just store it outside. I would do it outside but Maximus and I would be harassed by the rude children (I am not mentioning names)..that live around us!!!

[COLOR=SandyBrown]What an awesome idea! Deegan loves to dig at eveything. The couch, the bed, his bed, pillows and of course the grass. I have tiny little holes all over my back yard. Maybe this will help me keep him from digging up the lawn.
I am going to call my boyfriend to get some sand this afternoon.

Thanks for the idea. Hopefully I can get some pictures of him and post them!

Has Bailey tried eating the sand? Right now my little ones eat EVERYTHING, I'd be worried they would try eating the sand.

I did that once. It was a disaster. The sand fleas and ticks found the sand. The neighborhood cats did too. ShooooWeeeee.

A yorkie sandbox sounds fun. Can you post pics? I might have to invest in one for my crew and put it in a cat-free zone!

lyricandme · 07-11-2005, 10:50 AM

What a great idea! We might have to get one, too!

yorkieusa · 07-11-2005, 10:57 AM

Sounds like a great idea!

We've already got the sand. Just need a sandbox. Maybe then she'll stop digging those precocious little holes all over her yard!

I would buy the little kid ones that have the top on them so kitty can't use it as a litter box

We have a kids sandbox I might fill up for my yorkies.
