Mine hates the big jolly ball with the little ball in it.. if it happens to fall out of the toy basket while he's pulling something else out, he runs away.
OMG he looks just like Calamity in this video, (lest the cropped ears and pee pee). They have the same look and mannerisms.
I'm not convinced its the ball that's spooking him as much as him seeing his own reflection in your bright as* floors next to the ball. Then it looks like a strange 2D dog is playing with a 3D ball....CREEPY!
So maybe you could dirty your floors a little like the rest of us dog owners have!
Finally, maybe you could paint a dragon on the ball and fill it full of stuffing (either pillow or stovetop, either one should do).
Well crap, I forgot to turn the volume down and now *******'s all worked up lol. Hades clearly knows something we don't. That has to be the only explanation!
Love me some Hades and Snoop! Speaking of ... where was Snoop to protect Hades?
we have that same toy and I swear Bella intentionally swings it around like its a weapon, I've ducked that flying toy more than once when she flung it. I don't blame Hades, that toy is evil.
My 3 couldn't care less, they knew Hades had it covered, so why bother getting up.
You know why he doesnt like it don't you.
He knows if he swings that about and it nuts him on the head he is going to be seeing stars for a week or more.
Never mind Hades, just leave it out where mum can kick it when she is doing a midnight raid on the cheese or something, that way it has some use if only as an early warning system and not as a big red ball designed for big bad dogs to play with.
haha that is so funny!! love his little chatter .. and when he backed away when you told him to get it!
I had headphones on, not real loud either mind you .. and Nexus picked her head up and grumbled when Hades barked .. now how in heck did she hear it through headphones!!
I ordered the horse sized Jolly Ball with handle and Aries loves it. Of course he used to play with a deflated basketball so when this came he was much happier. Mine doesn't do Ropes with balls on them. He's an either or kinda dobe.
Echo has this ball too and loves it. She will violently shake/kill it (I tied a knot in it so it was to short to brain her) or chew on it and carry it around. I can only guess at the jaw strength it takes to squish that thing enough to hold it in her mouth!
Hades looks adorable and is right to be suspicious. It is a dangerous weapon if you happen to be gardening or walking or standing anywhere near "Jolly" play. I think it's called that because if your dog is playing with it, you jolly well better stay out of the way!
Go get 'em Hades!
