Babble Ball

For Christmas I got Cooper a great toy.  I didn't know how cute Cooper would be with it. I just thought it would be a good toy while it lasted.  I was more worried about durability.  Cooper usually cracks plastic toys in his jaw with consistent effort until he's successful in breaking it into a bunch of little tiny pieces.  As of today he has STILL not cracked this toy.

So what was the biggest attraction of this particular toy?  It TAUNTS anyone who comes near it!  It has a motion sensor that detects when someone comes near.  It also has a motion sensor so if you move it at all it will taunt you then also.  So you can imagine that Cooper spends a lot of time barking at this ball that NEVER SHUTS UP!

You must be wondering what kinds of things this ball might say to taunt a dog.  Well, it burps, farts and giggles.  It howls, barks and growls.  It calls, "Come here puppy!" and threatens "I'm gonna get you!" and yells "Oh you got me!" among lots of other things.

So you can see how this ball might be hard to ignore.  Cooper really enjoys this toy and goes looking for it even when it's being quiet.  I'm happy I got it for him.

I actually found a web site and plan to buy him one that's a little bigger than the one he has.  The plan THIS time is, I'm going to save that little plastic tab to insert into the battery slot to deactivate the battery so I can get it to SHUT UP!!!
