Foster Failure, Maggie Moo

[zippy-kat]

Have you offered her a TOY instead of the broom?

Yes sir but guess what she prefers? lol The stuffies are already gutted but the balls, kong, and tennis shoe are in working condition! lol

Yup, Maggie is definitely going to need plenty of playtime. I'd suggest engaging her in an activity that takes advantage of some of that boundless energy.

LASER LIGHT! She loves it as much as K'Cee does! Right now, we're "taking it easy" (as easy as possible) since she has stitches but you can definitely tell there's some pent up energy there! As for commands, she's got sit, stay, and lay down pat .... as long as there's a treat or toy in your hand. lol

Sara perhaps has you all a little spoiled when it comes to living with a dog...

This made me snicker a little bit.
When Sara was a pup, she "rewired" a (new) Ranger boat for us, ate the rosebushes down to stubs (she was a frequent gardener), chewed on the HOUSE.... It honestly took her about 4-5 years to settle down. Even now at 7, she's still ready for a romp.

I got my first dog at the age of 3, a cocker named ButterScotch, who was a complete lady thru and thru -- elegant and dainty all of her 15 yrs. These gals we have now... "elegant" and "dainty" just don't cover it. lol

I'll try to get pics of the girls for ya this evening.

... but the balls, kong, and tennis shoe are in working condition! lol

I read somewhere that "old" (and un-wanted) shoes made for poor dawg toys ...

Reason being the Dawg can't tell the difference between his/her "old & unwanted"
shoe and your newest and most prized pair ...

I remember when we gave Casey (RB First Shepherd) a ratty throw pillow from
the couch to use as "her" toss & tug toy ... ebberbuddy happy for a month or so ...
Came home one day to find EVERY throw pillow destroyed and scattered around
the living room!
To her eyes, they all looked the same!
