Dog stuff

I dunno where all our dog toys and collars and leads go… I know a good many toys get munched and chewed beyond salvation, and some retire under the furniture or into the garage for a much needed rest, but we should be able to fill a room with the toys and dog gear we’ve bought over the years. Yet somehow I am still struggling to find a tuggy to take to training 3 times a week, and the dogs’ collars sorely need a wash, but I don’t seem to have any spares. How bizarre.

If I were going to buy new ones, I’d probably go here:

For Fly, either Blackwatch (because I just didn’t get enough of that in 5 years of highschool) or Flower of Scotland… because they don’t seem to have the more appropriate Biting Hell-Pig of Scotland:

And perhaps these for Pinky, Ziggy and Connor:

I think Jack would look nice in this:

although perhaps too girly, so maybe this (its rugged, natural):

And Muddy would be something bubblegum:

Bill?
He needs something classic, manly, that won’t make his neck hot and sweaty (eww!):

New toys would include the classic ball-on-a-rope, tuggable Frisbees, and anything squeaky yet durable:

With current finances, it’s a good thing my dogs just as excited by a leash for tugging, or a fragment of tennis ball to fetch, and it will be a while before we’re out wasting money on toys and posh collars again. But we have Connor instead, and that’s a much better deal.
