Laurie wanted to show you how much our furry friends enjoy toys. After
a new dog settles in, they delight in playing with a toy. This week Mama Mia
and Dandee were taking turns with a new blue toy.
Snickers is playing with one of the favorite types of toys—an empty water
bottle inserted into an old sock with the end of the sock tied. When they chew
on the sock the plastic bottle makes wonderful crackling noises. Of course
squeaky toys are wonderful fun too. All the young puppies need lots of things
to chew on.
We have many styles of ropes for them to chew or play tug
with.
Consuela is so cute. Even if she can’t come up with a toy, she’ll find a
piece of a toy or a piece of fabric and then prance around with it joyfully.
She tries to get another dog to play tug.
Like the dogs, cats are creative too. On the Ronda Romper, there is a
security door that has a counter weight to make certain the inside door stays
closed. The cats love to go watch the counter weight go up and down as people
come and go through the door. Of course, the kittens love to use people as play
toys. Here is a picture of our volunteer, Kristen, playing with many of the
kittens. And then there is the picture of Ed being a climbing pole.
As you can see the dogs and cats love toys. We try to give all the animals
a good quality of life until they move on to their forever home. We are always
looking for volunteers to walk the dogs or just come and play with the animals.
Life can be such a joy. We hope you have a good day
today.
