Lucky Chaos Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 I bought this cute little stuffed bear toy for Chaos a few days ago and she loved it. Right away she picked it up and hasen't let it out of her sight since. Well it plays this cute little tune and she uses her paws to set it off by jumping on it with her front paws. But it's been 4 days and I'm going nuts! She somehow gets it to play over and over and over! I don't mind it so much in the day, but she brings it to my bed at night and for at least half an hour continues playing with it and if I kick her out she cries at the door cause she loves sleeping on my bed. I did take it away, but she knew where I put it and camped out at that spot even risisting a treat! :o I finally broke down and gave it back but I'm gonna go crazy! Is there a way I can get her to leave it alone just for a little while? Or am I doomed not to sleep till the batteries run out? Quote
pei obssessed Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I don't see any way out--just pray for the batteries to run out faster :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote
kendalyn Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 :lol: aww... I can picture her pouncing! It sounds pretty cute, but I'm not the one listening to the toy! Quote
courtnek Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 If the batteries are removable, take them out at night and let her have the toy without the noise. If not, put it up and say "bedtime" (and put up with her begging) until she learns she cant have it at night. Quote

I bet Coal would LOVE this!" and grabs this squeeky toy, so I go "nuh uh!". Dad, all heart broken I don't like the toy he picked out, asks why, and so I grab the toy and proceed to squeeze it over and over again... *SQUEEK SQUEEK SQUEEK SQUEEK SQUEEEK...* You get the idea? After not even 20 seconds of this Dad shouts "okay okay! I get your point!" :lol: :lol: :wink: Good luck Steph! I think Court's Idea is good... Quote
StarFox Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 :lol: :lol: Oh I sooo know what your going threw!! The first Christmas we had with Zebra my dad went to petsmart and picked up a dog toy. It was a dog dressed up as a soldier. Well my dad came home and gave it to Zebra and when Zebra bit it it played the most annoying, loud, high pitched christmas song! My dad had NO idea that it made any noise. Zebra LOVED that toy to bits and every few seconds Zebra would bite it and the song would play over and over and over....oy did it drive everyone crazy!! I would go to bed and in the middle of the night I would hear the song. :lol: Finally Zebra ripped the arms off so it had to be thrown away. And guess what happend? My mom bought him another one!!!!!! :o :x Luckily he chewed that one up too. :lol: Maybe someone can distract Chaos and you can get the toy and hide it. Good luck trying to get some sleep :wink: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 :popcorn: here, here... toys that make noise are the devil. :) i learned that the hard way with Brianna, before i buy any toy i squeeze it and then imagine that its 3:30 in the morning and then i start squeezing it repeatedly as fast ans hard as i can.... if i get irritated the toy goes back on the shelf. luckily bones and kongs are pretty quiet.... unless you ave a dog that plays catch(see other post) :evil: Quote
KathiNellie Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 I bought Nellie this duck that quacks VERY LOUD and 4 series of them before it stops and then it is all over again. :roll: The only way I could get her to stop was to get her another toy that had a much less anoying sweak and finally she gave up on the duck most of the time. I espcially love it when I am on the phone or turn on the tv. That is usually the time when she gets noise toys out to entertain me!! :x Can't help but laugh though.... Good Luck!! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Oh Kongs can be VERY noisy!!! Hazel had this one that she DISTROYED, well it seemed this ONLY happened when we were watching TV, I guess because she needed to then entertain herself, so she got out her Kong. This HORIRBLE RUBBER GNAWING SOUND while your trying to watch the movie. She'd get so into it that we couldn't even hear the TV!! :lol: Quote
Lucky Chaos Posted March 13, 2004 Author Posted March 13, 2004 Ok I'll admit picturing it is funny. :lol: I was planning to try courtnek's idea tonight, but I dug up and old stuffed bear of mine instead and while my mom fed them dinner made the switch. She looked at it for a while, jumped and bit it a few times, then gave up and curled up with it for a nap (Yay!). I'll probably let her use the other one in the day, and the noiseless one at night. I think the most annoying thing was I couldn't identify the tune! It was stuck in my head and I couldn't place where I heard it before. Then my mom walks by humming it so I had to ask her what it is. Its rock-a-bye baby!(rock-a-bye baby, on the treetops, when the wind blows the cradle will rock?) Suddenly its not quite as annoying now that I know where its from. :lol: Quote
__crazy_canine__ Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 I know how you feel too. I was dog-sitting and the dogs had a frog toy that would ribbit constantly! I hated it but Im glad I dont have to live with it. You all are so lucky you have dogs to enjoy ...all I have is a cat. Hes very dumb btw. He runs into walls, and up them too. :lol: :cry: :cry: :cry: I WANNA DOGGIE!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: Quote
Lucky Chaos Posted March 13, 2004 Author Posted March 13, 2004 Hey you can always have my cat that thinks he's a dog. :lol: He even fetches! Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 I think it's cute. Paddy has one of those filled bones he brings it to bed it sometimes falls off the bed with a loud crunk he jumps off the bed to get it back Quote
