Although I would never buy from a mall pet store, I go there often to hold puppies. (Them manager knows me and does not mind.) I just love to spend time with a fresh beautiful baby. The downside is for the next few weeks, all I want to do is go back and bring them home with me. I have 3 dogs, and that is my husband's limit.
My dogs love chewy sticks and stuffed toys. Maggie chewed up Honey's favorite ball, so I used it as a pattern and remade it from denim with a kitty bell inside. They loved it so much I made a whold bunch of them.
