WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE?

Mom is always on the lookout
for toys that stimulate us
and that she doesn't have to
supervise all the time.

An adult Scottie
has a mouth
that is about the same size
as that of
an adult German Shepherd
so little chew toys
end up being chewed and swallowed.
That is what we wish to avoid.

Each of us have our favorite
forms of entertainment.

We, boys, like to play with a large tug rope.
Sometimes we play nicely together,
but then there are other times
that one of us will be guarding the rope
or playing keep-away.

Lilly is the most aloof dog
at our house -
she thinks she is too good
for toys or the floor.
You will find her either
sitting on someone's lap,
on a chair,
on Dad's briefcase
or

in a box.

Even though Nylabones
have gotten a bad rap lately,
we still have them.
Mom and Dad buy the largest one
they can find
and when it gets
whittled down to our mouth size,
it disappears.
The one in the picture
is about ready to go.
They don't want to take the chance
of one of us swallowing it.

We never get rawhide bones,
pigs ears or bully sticks.
We know we would love them,
but with the competition
going on between four dogs,
our Peeps are afraid
of us swallowing one
and having to go see our Vet.

Carrleigh's favorite toy
is the laser light.
She would chase it all day long
and is always encouraging Dad
to get it down for a rousing game of chase.

Carrleigh and Ruairi
love to chase the sunlight.
When Mom is cooking dinner,
the evening sun
comes in our kitchen windows
and glints off her knife -
that gets them into a rousing game
and sometimes gets them banned
from the kitchen - hehe!

But as diverse as we are
with our toys,
we all agree that there is one thing
we absolute detest.

We don't know why Mom insist
on vacuuming up our lovely hairs
off the floor and furniture,
but we all hate to see that
vacuum cleaner come out -
it even has bite marks on it.

What's your favorite toy -
maybe you can give us some pointers
on some tough stuff
that we won't destroy within minutes.

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Ruairi
