Why doesn't he eat that mouse?

It's not in his programming!

What good is it, then? Is it a playmate?

You might call it that! You wouldn't want your pet to get bored, would you? The bone and the ducky don't give your pet much exercise, but the mouse does!

Well, that's a fact. In fact, I can count on him getting tired and going to sleep after a bit of mouse play. It's really funny to watch.

It is funny! The mouse is great for when you don't have a lot of time to spend with your pet and you want to tire him out quickly!

Yes! That is when I use the mouse. I always feel better when I leave the game with the little guy sleeping. So the mouse is a fast way to get him to go to sleep.

My pet prefers the duck to the mouse. He watches the mouse and chases it a little, but he prances up to that duck, makes a funny noise, snarls (showing teeth!), grabs the duck and often throws it! It is so funny to watch!

Different pets seem to favor different toys. I had one pet that didn't like any of the toys for a long time. Finally, with some TLC I was able to get him to play with them.

How cute. I'd like my puppy to do that with the duck. My puppy picks up the duck and sometimes walks or runs with it, - then stops. I love that. But I can't seem to get him to travel with it all the time, even with positive reinforcement (combing). Oh well.

is it a puppy or a kitty??

There's a discussion of that very thing in this topic. I'm not sure there's really an answer, but the discussion might at least entertain you!

imho the mouse toy is a nuisance ...
it moves too fast ...
the lpp, can't catch it because the minute the lpp gets near the mouse it is off and running again ...
maybe make the mouse move a little slower in future versions ...
I don't even bother with the mouse toy for the reason that it just moves too fast ...
I play ball with my lpp instead ...

please correct the LINK that discusses the topic
of if the lpp is a cat or a dog, when I clicked on it:
it says the forums have moved ...
please put the correct new LINK here ...
thanks ...

Here it is.

And just a FYI. If you don't wont to wait for someone to fix it, all you have to do is change www.ldwsoftware to www.ldwforums after you get the forum has moved page.
