The Rotation Of Toys...

Lucy has more toys than can be found in the toy aisle at Petco. So, in order to make it easier to walk through the house and up and down the stairs, we rotate toys. Every couple of days, I walk through the house scooping up toys and then I grab an armful of new toys and scatter them around. It's kind of a neat thing, because Lucy always thinks she's getting new toys, when really we're just changing things up! (Of course, as you all know, I'm not saying that I don't love going out and buying new toys... I add a new toy to the mix every couple of weeks!)

"Hey ma, whatcha got there? Is dats a new toy? I don't remember seeings him around here before. I wants to play with him. Looks how pretty I's is sitting. Does dat mean I can have him?"

Lucy's patience for being a "proper and polite" puppy only lasts so long.

"I wants dat toy, ma! Gives it up...."

"Comes on, Ma! I wanna chase my toy up and down the stairs! Where's you at? Speeds it up!"

"How longs do I haves to wait? Hurry its up!... I'ms waiten!"

"Mmmm.... Stuffed play-e-pus! Good stuff, but I sure hope dis isn't dinner...."

  3. We recognised that platypus straight off! AND we think Lucy is just playing YOUR game. She's probably pretending she thinks they're new toys.

  7. I always try to get mom to play chase and keep away, but she is really slow and loses interest quickly. Love the platypus!

  8. Our Mama keeps meaning to try the same thing. The only trouble is, Lily tends to destroy our toys within a few days of getting them... so them Mama thinks we won't be interested if she gives us a ripped up stuffie and tries to tell us its new! ;)

    P.S. Today is the last day to enter and pick your prizes for our raffle to raise money for Apollo!

  10. Are you training Lily to be a hunter? Perhaps one day she'll bring home a bird or duck.

  11. We came over from Opie's Mom's Blog to say "hi". That platypus stuffie looks fun and that beak may be a good chew!

  12. How long does Lucy maintain interest in one toy? Kelly loves most of them for a while but then she isn't as interested. A few really good ones she'll keep coming back to.
