Dog Eat Doug by Brian Anderson for June 14, 2013

Sophie’s logical.

my dog.

Expensive cat toy; cheap twist tie – guess which one.

How did the dish towels get on the floor? Who gave them to her?My youngest Chihuahua hates to see us use a sponge. He growls and barks until we put it away.

I didn’t know other people had that problem with their dogs. Ours always steal towels and destroy them.

Just like some kids! Buy them a super-shiny, expensive toy, and they end up playing with the box :)

I lived almost 2 decades with my lovely Umbrella cockatoo, and she always wanted mommy’s toys so I got her some of her own wooden spoons and other kitchen implements (as we spent a lot of my home time in the kitchen). All the smallish knives have chew marks on the handles tho’ and other small hand tools like screwdrivers too (she was even known to pick up a pair of pliers, but that was too heavy to run with.

She liked to run around the counters with stuff. Here she was attacking some papers I’d been writing on.

Sophie’s got a point here. If she keeps going for the dish towels, then give her a bunch of ex-dish towels you aren’t using any more and let her play with those.

Toys for cats – big brown paper shopping bags and boxes. Toys for the dog down the street – any bag he can stick his entire head into (and try to follow with his body) – Buzz is a german shepherd cross and likes to explore any bag you are carrying.

My cat is mostly an outdoor pet so she can climb the trees of the backyard to her heart’s content, but when I let her in my room she still scratches the covers of my speakers and my leather armchair, go figure. We even bought her some cat toys.

or socks?
