Have you ever wondered how you can recognize a favorite? Emma is letting me handle week 32 of the 52 Snapshots of Life Photo Challenge as the word is favorite and my squeaky ball is definitely my favorite possession. How does my family know this? For starters, I bring him into bed with Mom and me every night. Sometimes he even squeaks during the night!
I’m always real busy carrying squeaky ball around the house. I don’t know why Mom calls him squeaky ball and not squeaky pig, but it is what we call him.
When I nap in my dog bed, I always leave him close by.
Squeaky ball helps me out when I’m on duty with my neighborhood watch duties. I know he loves watching out the window too!
I take him with me upstairs and back downstairs. One wouldn’t want him to feel abandoned. He arrived at my house back in December and we have been a pair ever since.
At mealtime, I let him sit by my bowl to watch me eat. He would never dream of stealing my food.
Squeaky ball is definitely my favorite possession and I will always hold him tight in my paws. I think a favorite can be easily recognized when it is something you always want to have with or around you.
My friends at The Lazy Pitbull had the idea for theΒ #PBSG and #52Snapshots of Life photo challenge. The linky for the current week will be posted on Friday mornings. Be sure to see what other blogs come up with for the word of the week!
Ok, that is just tooooo cute!
Cute and squeaky. She just loves that silly ball.
Bailie, that is so sweet that you have a favorite toy and that he goes everywhere with you!
Every now and then she will ignore him or a week or two, but then they rediscover each other and are besties once again.
How cool! Your Squeaky Pig/Ball is so handsome, and I can understand why you love him so much. The mom had a cocker spaniel (Bozo) that had a squeaky frog which he always close to him. Me…I am a toy hoarder. I love toys and have them EVERYWHERE! Sometime I leave them in the yard or on the pool deck, and they get wet and dirty. The mom laughs at me because I leave so many toys in the kitchen! I just got a dolphin toy from Discovery Cove – it’s my new favorite. XOXO Sparkle the PBGV
Our house looks like a toy explosion. Bailie plays with other toys now and then, but she always comes back to squeaky ball.
My two have favourite toys as well! Isn’t it just adorable?
I have my bunny, but he spends most of his time upstairs in my bed. Bailie is the toy dog around here, but squeaky ball is special.
it is always nice to have a special favorite toy
If Bailie is MIA, all Mom has to do is make squeaky ball squeak and Bailie will come running!
This is just SO precious! Absolutely adorable post, I love all these photos. Bailey is too cute the way he totes Squeeky Ball/Pig all around with him. Thanks for sharing.
She just loves him. When she comes home after being gone, she runs around like a mad dog squeaking him like crazy. Pretty funny!
I bet this ball was made for you… even in the factory this ball knew once he will make a GBGV-girl happy… I think that’s something ike karma :o)
They are two piggies in a pen for sure. Besties forever, or until the rubber wears out.
Moms always use the wrong names for our stuffies

Moms have no clue sometimes.
Such a sweet photo story π
Thank you. Bailie and squeaky ball are a sweet pair.
That favorite sure is easy to spot…just look at all that happy!
Oh yes, squeaky ball makes Bailie real happy!
What a great friend squeaky pig is! Looks like she stays by your side through thick and thin!!

Squeaky ball is always near in the house, but he isn’t allowed outside.
There is nothing better than a favorite toy. We also love a cute piggie! βΊ
This one is definitely Bailie’s favorite. Katie says she had a rubber squeaky cow as a pup that she totally loved, but it eventually died.
Aww that is so cute!!! My huskies each have a favorite as well!
α¦ husky hugz α¦ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Bailie is really into her squeaky ball!
You obviously love your squeeky ball. That’s pretty cool!
She really loves squeaking it too!
This is a very thorough dissertation on how to recognize a favorite! Well done Emma!
Thank you. It is pretty evident with Bailie and favorites.
That is so cute! Chloe used to have her faves…but her playing with toys has dwindled so much as she has aged.
Katie and I don’t play much with toys, but Bailie still loves them.
That’s definitely a favorite! I have a favorite Nylabone that I carry around only to try and bury it every where and I always go to the same squeaky ball to play. Love Dolly
Better not bury the bone, Taffy may dig it up, or worse squirrels could get it!
Bailie, I can see squeaky ball is definitely a favorite as he’s everywhere with you! Sophie had two toys like that. When she was a puppy, it was the green squeaky worm. She wouldn’t go anywhere without it. I had to find more of that thing, because it started rotting from being carried around and played with all the time. So I ordered six of them to keep in the cupboard and dole out, one by one. But, of course, the new squeaky worrm wasn’t the old one and Sophie lost interest immediately. Then, there was the squeaky octopus. His legs would extend when you squeaked him. She went gaga for that toy, until all his legs were gone and he, too was rotting. The new one…not so much. You can’t account for what’s a favorite now, can you?
Mom thought about getting a backup but figured it wouldn’t be the same so we hope squeaky ball lasts a long time. Katie had a squeaky rubber cow as a puppy she says and it lasted a year or two.
Jax definitely has many favorites – it’s called EVERYTHING! I’m happy to report that I am still Harley’s favorite!
Puppies are like that. Every toy is the favorite of the moment!
I can see that is your favorite- very cute π
She does really love squeaky ball!
Oh yeah, we can definitely see how favored that squeaky ball/pig is!
In cat talk…probably like a catnip mouse!
Iβve never met a woofie who doesnβt like squeaky toys.
Bailie is the only one who plays with toys, but we all liked squeaky ones when we were younger.
It is good to have a favorite toy. Not sure about the squeaking at night though…lol.
That happens when squeaky ball sneaks into bed and someone bumps him in the night
Oh gosh, that really IS a favourite toy, for sure. I don’t have any toys I carry around the house but maybe I should start. Looks like a fun practice, for sure!
Purrs,
Seville
Bailie loves her squeaky ball for sure!
So much cuteness!
Surely you mean squeaky ball and not Bailie? LOL!
What a cute favorite toy, Glory brings her squeekie to bed too and then I roll on it and annoy everyone.
That is pretty much how it works with squeaky ball and Mom too.
