Subject: RE: BS: Our pets favorite things
Our cocker spaniel loves to play fetch with us. If he doesn't have someone to throw things for him, he often will play with a tuggie toy, shaking his head and romping around.
    The puppy loves to play with soft toys that squeak, especially balls. If she is left by herself (meaning the other animals let her play without stealing something), she loves to toss the toys up in the air and then chase them around the room as they roll along.
    Our cats really like ribbons...the curly-q kind that look like ringlets of curls. I have a bag of these upstairs in the spare bedroom and every few weeks, one of the kittens will come downstairs with a glittery bow hanging from his mouth. They love to bat it around and steal it from one another.
    In the summer time, the larger dogs love when we hang a gallon water jug from a tree branch...the jug is full of water and also full of small holes. The water sprinkles down from above and they jump and play under the gentle waterfall. They also love, LOVE to play fetch....it could be a branch, a canvas bird, a dog toy...anything!
    They all love to sit in our laps or beside us whenever we sit and relax for the evening. My oldest cat, loves to sit on the top of my rocking chair, right above my shoulder and purr most evenings. He doesn't want to be held, just to be near and to have his chin rubbed occasionally.
