Silly Puppy

The other day I was picking up Stella's toys so I could vacuum. I keep her toys in a plastic crate and usually it is turned sideways so she can get to them. But for the sake of efficiency I turned it up so I could drop things in.

Of course Stella wanted to get in there, so she jumped her little front paws in. But her back legs were too short to reach the floor. So she started see-sawing back and forth, front legs down in the crate, back legs down on the floor. I laughed until I cried. (I also got her out, I'm not cruel!)

Right now Stella's favorite toys are some long plush animals with squeakers in them from Costco, a rope toy with tennis balls at both ends, and Kong AirDog SqueakAir tennis balls. The last ones are AWESOME. They roll around really well by themselves and entertain her for a very long time. And they have this really high-pitched squeak that drives her absolutely batty.

Another favorite: icecubes. She LOVES them. Cheapest, easiest toy ever. She's chasing one around the living room right now.


Today I'm going to find a park or something with an enclosed area where the girl can RUN. She needs it!
