Another Langley toy test: The Teaser Ball



I brought home a Jolly Pets Teaser Ball for Langley to try out and for a couple of days he totally ignored it.  Then today he discovered it and it was pretty hilarious.  He probably played with it for a full 15 minutes, which is pretty amazing for this boy with a very short attention span.  He even left a bully stick lying on the floor to play with it.  High praise!

Langley is used to food toys that easily give up the treat once you discover the trick behind him.  However this toy, is designed to NOT give up it's treat - the soft green ball inside.  He tried everything, sticking his snout inside, chewing on it, trying to paw it out, and yet still the green ball refused to come out.  I love at the 30 second point of the video where he stops, sits back and stares at it, trying to regroup and figure out his next plan of attack.

As always, Frodo our house dog makes a cameo on the other side of the fence, gazing wistfully at the toy and wishing he could play with it.  Just so you know, Frodo actually does get a turn with the toys.  I'm not THAT mean to the poor cranky beast. We just make sure that the play time is upstairs and out of Langley's sight.
