Babble ball

On the recommendation from Millie I bought Katy a babble ball. I thought she was going to destroy it as any toy that makes a noise has to die, so far so good.

I now have Chaos at my feet whining because he can hear babble ball!

I'm so glad Katy likes it

Thank Millie for recommending it Liz

Yes it's been such a good buy. It's surviving getting Una drool all over it and when Una is getting stubborn or selectively deaf, the babble sound magically restores her hearing resulting in an instant sit then lie down as Una works through all the positions that she thinks will result in getting to play with it

oh my goodnrss i would need earplugs if it works though go for it. it ain't a babble bal its a yap ur ears off till they bleed ball

I have given up and stuck a piece of duct tape over it when my ears start ringing with "hello puppy!!!!"  

A great way of dealing with guests who have outstayed their welcome, though!

What Millie didn't tell us was if you walk past it starts talking, makes me jump Also Katy barking at something out the window, it starts talking Its worth the shocks as she's loving it

Una's is on the window sill in the kitchen and every time I'm washing the dishes it starts talking. I get a fright and suddenly there's Una sitting beside me looking hopeful.

Aww let her have it Does make you jump though, when all of a sudden there is a voice calling here puppy or you got me

Ah. I forgot to mention that, didn't I?

Didn't you just Liz, kept that one quiet I don't care as long as my pup enjoys it

Yes it keeps us on our toes, well hands and knees for me as I'm usually retrieving it from under the couch

Babble ball is dead!!!! stopped talking last night I just knew Katy would kill it

If you put it to one side it may start up again, so far we've had to dry it out from Una-slobbers and adjust the batteries after she'd battered it quite hard against the skirting board.

I don't know Ange, something is rattling inside it!! Think its definitely dead

I'd certainly give the batteries a go (make sure you get the cheapy ones off ebay as they take 3). One of ours rattles as well be still works.

Ok Liz will try that when I get a min, don't they last very long then? How often do you change Millie's?

We've only changed them once since Christmas. They don't have it all the time but still the batteries do seem to last a fair while.

Katy fixed it Liz by dropping it down the step

Clever Katy

good girl katy id love to know hiw mia reacted to a babble ball where do u get them?

getting mia one in next 2 weeks under £10 on amazon

They do give them some funny looks Crystal as they are barking or saying come here puppy

Bet she'll love it, Crystal!

can imagine her

Loved the vid Jen, is Katy still playing with it or is it chewed up yet?

Slight teeth grooves in it but still being played with & going strong Well worth the money just for her expressions

Yup, ours is still going strong too! The duvet's taking a bit of a battering, though, as Chaos likes to bury it then dig it out again

Oh Una does that too! She really enjoys hiding it in her blanket or giving it to me to wrap up so she can have a good old dig and shake

Discovered the next levels of usage:
1) sellotape it inside a cardboard box - had a good five minutes of determined cardboard box "getting into" before Una succeeded in freeing the babble
2) don't throw away the plastic tab, you can put the tab back in to shush it up and carry it on walks for a good focus toy. I'd had to bodge one from a seed sachet

I have to have one of these, although I don't think it would last 5 minutes with Ozzy

You'd be surprised, Sara. Well, we've been surprised at any rate, and I promise you Chaos doesn't understand the meaning of the word 'gentle'!

I thought the same too Sara as Katy can kill most toys but it's still intact You must get Ozzy 1
