On Friday I had worked for a little while stitching up some dog toys that Arnie has torn apart. I worked on the repairs, and then gave the toys back to the dogs. With lightening speed, Arnie gutted them once again!
I stood there for a moment and thought. What do I do? Do I sew them back up, throw them away, or…
Then a commercial came onto the TV. It was for Crazy Critters. This gave me an idea! I had all these wonderful torn half full toys, that simply could not remain stitched up, so….I started pulling! I pulled the fiber fill out of each and every toy until I had 6 little dog toys, completely un-stuffed!
Arnie looked at me with quizzical eyes as I pulled the fill out and trashed it. Anneliese waited expectantly, and Greta took each new toy as I tossed it and claimed it as her own!
By lunchtime, Arnie has collected each of the toys and taken them into his man cave, where he was either lying on them or holing them, but definitely enjoying them!
By dinner Anneliese had most of them, at least the best ones!
Now, as bedtime draws near for my little babies, they are all happy, each one of them, with their un-stuffed toys!
Who says you don’t get good ideas from commercials?
Sounds like a good plan!!! So happy that the pups are having so much fun! I think I need a little Crazy Critter in my life!!! LOL! Love YOU, Mel
Hahaha ! I think Rosie wouldn’t be happy if I emptied her mice !
The dachshunds are SO funny.
I got one for Skye for Christmas. She loves it and other then getting the squeakers out it is a no mess toy! It amazed me how much she enjoyed the toy with no stuffing. Now I need to unstuff some of her other toys, what a great idea.
Have you ever seen these dog toys http://www.gollygear.com/bottletoys.html they are destuffed dog toys that have the crinkly flattened plastic water bottles in them. Marley loves hers – crunh crunch!
