Where's the Carpet?

Can a puppy ever have too many toys? Emme doesn't seem to think so. When she came to live with us, there were already some dog toys in the house from Rudy's collection. Since she has gotten here, we have had many celebrations: Rudy's second anniversary with us, Rudy's fifth birthday, and Christmas. That of course meant toys for both dogs. So the collection has grown.

Both dogs love large fluffy "lovies" so I have found some bears at end of Christmas sales and, of course, had to buy two identical toys when I found good ones. Ken made a wooden toy box that we keep in the corner of the living room. The toys fill that box and more. The overflow is piled next to the toy box behind my chair. Every day the dogs drag out a different collection of toys. Each morning, Ken and I put all the toys back into the box or toy pile and then all day long, the dogs drag out their favorites to play with. By the next morning, it is a challenge to see the carpet in the living room.
