Gracie's Casualties

When my boys were small, the house was littered with toys here and there. Soon, they were old enough to start picking up behind themselves. Graice loves toys....but she doesn't pick up after herself! We've tried to teach her, but it isn't happening...lazy dog.

If I try to pick up her toys and put them in a bucket, she doesn't like it at all! She'll go in one by one and pull them all out. She likes them spread all about, so she has easy access to them! We rotate out the worst ones when they go to the kennel. We take one to the kennel, and then say good-bye to it when we pick them up! Here's a little bit of what my family room floor looks like today.

 

Little Dog wants nothing to do with toys. He could care less! We have one more dog coming into the family in 2 weeks. We've bought two toys for him, and we'll see if he likes them. They have to be "Gracie" proof, but small enough for him. It was a tough search, but we found two perfect ones. Still...Boo (our beagle), not interested in toys.  

Here's more of Gracie's casualties left all over my floor!

 

This mallard duck is one of her favorites. She's partial to toys with fur, so she can lick and bathe them! LOL It's so cute...

 

Uh-oh, I see stuffing...time to sew up another one. She has three versions of this monkey. She loves him, and he's held up to 120 pounds of dog for quite awhile. Call in the medics...err..I better get a thread and needle.

 

I think the yellow duck has seen better days. I guess he gets sent to the kennel during vacation time. She's not much into cleaning up...that's my job!
