The Red Lobster
Whenever I go into a discount store, I look at the selection of dog toys. I
have strict instructions from my girls. If it costs more than $2, we won't even look at it. Nice of them to be so easy to please, isn't it? So in Big Lots today, they had a red plush lobster, with a squeaker in its head, and the tail is stretchable. Perfect for playing tug, and at $1.49, no big deal if it only lasts a few days. Oh. My. I am going to have to run back to Big Lots tomorrow and pick up every one they have. MacKenzie is just loving the squeaker head (under the computer squeaking non-stop as we speak). Madigan and she have already had turns waving it in each others faces to start tug games, and it's held up well. Kenzie even started rolling on it, and she rarely does this to a toy. And Madigan proved that she has received another shipment of brains in the mail! I play the "where's the" game with her often. She knows "where's the" means I want her to find something, but normally she doesn't pay much attention to what object I'm asking for. Any one nearby will do as an offering until she gets it right or runs out of nearby objects. Going to another room to search for something is not an option. Today when I brought the lobster home, I told her what it was. (I always tell her the names of her toys.) About an hour later, I asked her where her lobster was. She stopped, thought, ran into the other room and CAME OUT WITH THE LOBSTER!!! Man, was she ever proud of herself. :} She's showing many more signs of thinking before acting these days. This is a very, very good thing. Canine Action Dog Trainer http://www.canineaction.com My Kids, My Students, My Life: http://hometown.aol.com/dfrntdrums/m...age/index.html |
