Hi, Tango is doing ok, although the cancer has returned, but my question is... how do I keep him entertained? He is old, has three legs and severe arthritis in his back two legs. the problem is that he hasn't noticed!
What can I do to keep him amused? He can't run or walk far so any games or toys for when he is lying down or standing still?
Any ideas?
Thanks guys!

Jill, I'm really sorry to hear the cancer has returned. Try to stay pawsitive and remember that dogs don't have an expiration date stamped on their butt (as Moderator Hugapitbull taught us!).
Ok we have lots of great ideas for alleviating boredom, both in the Tripawds Amazon Blog and the Tripawds Gear blog. Doing so is especially important for older dogs, so you're a pawesome pawrent for thinking about it. Here are some ideas for ya. Since many of these games require your participation too, it's a great way to spend quality time together, especially when walks become shorter.
