Toys are a problem around here. There’s no shortage (heaven knows!), but things happen to toys. The big dogs de-stuff them and carry the carcasses for months. The puppies dump them in the water bowl. I rescue them and they dry on the back of the sink.
These should be back in commission by tomorrow afternoon
This afternoon everyone got out in front with the puppies. While I was trying to put big dogs back and catch Holmes and Watson, Watson made a break back into the house and grabbed one of the carcasses. I wonder for how long he had been plotting that move.
I’ve put a crate in the puppy pen and when the boyz are all tuckered out (like they are now), they crawl in and take it for a test snooze. This is good practice for little show dogs. For now, the door is open and they can come and go, but their natural denning instinct will make this a safe haven for life.
