My year old Saint, Barnie has a favorite toy. It is a ball that squeeks. I don't remember the brand but I can describe it. It is about 4-5 inches in diameter and has an obnoxious squeek. It has little knob like projections all over it and comes in various loud colors. When we throw it to Barney, he catches it and then runs around squeeking it in his mouth. After a minute or so, he drops it at our feet to throw it again and the game continues. I've noticed that when no one can play with him at the time, he picks up his ball and walks around squeeking it. Hope this helps
