Toys!

One of the hardest things to do as a greyhound parent is to find a toy that keeps your dog engaged. Greyhounds are such big fuzzy slugs by nature that they seem to lose interest in the toys rather quickly, either they eviscerate them immediately to forget they exist in about twenty-four hours. Well, our good friend Symon, the proprietor of Furever Pets, recommended this absurb looking bee. He knows that our dogs like the toys that have a funny deep squawk and this one fits the bill. It is essentially an oversized rubber squeeker with a balistic nylon backed fuzzy covering.

In this case we ended up with Boris Bee. Boris Bee came home on Tuesday and he hasn't had a moment's rest. Boo and Boris Bee woke me up yesterday morning and this morning, I find him all over the house, on the sofa, in various crates, on my bed, in the dog beds, just about everywhere but the refrigerator! He's been such a hit around here that I went back to get Petey Penguin today.
