I liked a couple of the toys on the gear blog page too. I think the laser game is great, but, it causes my dogs to get too growly with each other because our house is too small and they want to "killl" the light too much.
Maybe I will try the "easter egg" hunt idea today. I will look on-line for the magazine too. That is an idea.
Thanks very much everyone, I like it and I hope my puppies do too!

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
SO glad this is on here. I am new to Tripawds. My baby Jake (our White Shepard) was shot during hunting season by a hunter. We found him in our yard and took him to the vet. His left hind leg was shattered and they had to amputate. He was at the vets for 2 weeks and we finally got him home today. He is so restless. He is happiest outside because he has always been an outside dog so he just doesn't know what to do with himself inside. HE HATES IT! But we refuse to let him stay outside for very long at a time so we are really needing some good tips on things to entertain him.
We also both work so he is going to have to be by himself during the day time and we don't want him to be bored for 8 hours straight. Thank you all for all the great advise!

OMD! Mattie for a monkeydog, you sure are well behaved (and cute)!
We used to do 'hide the cheerios' in the house when it was Rugby and Comet. (of course they don't have to be cheerios) Rocket was 'crumbs on the floor' aggressive so we stopped. But I think he's over that now - we should try it again. It's fun for them!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
