Simple Things


Amount spent on fancy puppy toys to keep Sunny from eating the sofa:  $397

Amount of interest in said toys:  Less than 10 minutes and that was for the $9 "Hurl a Squirrel".

New Favorite Toy:  Abandoned Rubbermaid trash can.

  1. Depending on how big the dogs head is. Here is an idea for a cheap toy. Get a pumpkin shaped candy collector that kids use to hold candy when trick or treating. Remove the handle and put a treat in it. If she can't reach it, she'll have to bat it around until the treat falls out.

  2. Spend eye-bleeding amount on new cat tower; unpack said cat tower; cat promptly climbs into box and spends the next 48 hours transfixed by new toy:)

  3. Their retrieving instincts are so strong. If she can manage that trash can, dog paddling a 12 lb Canada Goose would be a cinch.

    1. With her bowed front legs the Vet said she'd not be a "working dog", but she's doing fine playing in the yard to her heart's content.

  4. Easiest way to amuse a cat (or rabbit): cardboard box.

  5. Plans to repurpose the trash can as a supper dish.

  6. So typical of our dogs too! Rex, our new boy, mostly ignores toys. Happy to learn you got another Lab!

    1. We weren't planning on it with Lorelei being sick but the rescue place had her and knew we had the elevator set up for Lorelei which Sunny could use if her leg abnormality resulted in her having some stair issues (she doesn't). So she's here and we're so glad we got her. Lorelei loved the company those last weeks of her life.

  7. My friend's dog Ernie never met a piece of rope he didn't like.
