He's pretty funny with that thing.

Dexter like to play what we call "person fetch" where he throws his holey roller ball and other toys off the playtop and waits for us to retrieve them, so he can promptly throw them again. It's great fun!

Somewhere in the middle of your clip, Jasper is on top of a white wire cage, instead of his big cage. Is that a travel or sleeping cage? What can you tell me about it? I'm trying to find a smaller cage we can use to take Dexter on short 3-4 day trips - so something he can travel in, as well as hang out for a few days. I have a small one sold to me by the person who hand raised him, but we found out on a 3-day trip this summer that it is clearly way too small for him to happily hang out it in. I'll keep it for vet visits and grooming trips, but it's not good for any more than a short trip.

LOL oh man, Jasper does that too. And if I get tired he gives me this look haha

The white cage was Jasper's temporary cage when I first got him b/c his big one was delayed. It's pretty small but I decided to keep it for the balcony: https://twitter.com/Katie_Fleming/status/620322941129986048

I've used it a couple times when I went to visit family and he was perfectly content in it. Of course I had him out as much as I could (even just playing on top) but for 1 or 2 days it's totally fine. I bought it from Kijiji so not sure where you could find one.

You can see in this video he loves it

I ask him if he wants to go on the balcony and he gets in there as fast as he can! (Although now it's too cold until next year

)

It looks like the perfect size for some fun outside on the balcony - no wonder he loves it! I loved hearing his talk and whistle, too. Such a cutie!

He looks like he is having sooo much fun, that video really made me smile, lots of personality.

Have you got any detail on the ball, is it a silicon type design? Always looking for more toy options for Pebbles and Gizmo.

Cheers,

Cameron

Jasper is so funny Katie! This video was so much fun!

DexMom · Oct 23, 2015

We have this ball: JW Pet Hol-EE Roller Dog Toy at PETCO (smallest size, for toy sized dogs) that Dexter loves. I got it at Petco, if you have any trouble getting your hands on the rainbow ball or if shipping cost is prohibitive to your area.

Thanks for the info. They both give me good ideas, now I just need to scan the net for local (Australian) equivalents.
