Buddy loves laundry baskets, just loves 'em. He gets in them, on them, he herds them into groups, he bites on them and simultaneously pushes his hip into it to push it at same time, he pushes them across the floor/yard with his nose, he throws 'em up in the air, he rolls the round ones on their sides, he shakes them left and right and up in the air, he gets a real workout with a basket!!!! WISH I HAD A VIDEO CAM!! You'd laff out loud watching him wrestle around with laundry baskets.
YOur dog MIGHT like laundry baskets, too, and you just don't know it...? :msniwonder:
So he eventually chews up the edges, they get too sharp and cut his lips up.:dogtongue:
so i got a new, unchewed, plastic laundry basket at the dollar general store, $1, and a "Noodle", $2, a long foam tube with a small hole down the center, a "noodle" is a floating toy, in swimming pool toy department.......total cost :msnparty: $3 = tough durable fun toy.:dogbiggrin:
I slit the Noodle lengthwise, only halfway down, and then slipped it over the laundry basket top edge. Tied it down with rope. WA-LAA! Buddy loves it. It even squeaks somehow when he bites that foam thing on the laundry basket edge. Sometimes, i tuck lil treats under the ropes, too.
I also took a rectangle shaped, sturdier laundry basket, and covered top edge with carpet scraps, tied the carpet down onto the top edges with rope, Buddy loves that one, too! He actually herds the baskets, back and forth, from one end of the yard to the other. He wants some sheep, i know i know, but, i point out to Buddy, hey, you were on death row, so don't complain!!! so you got a family with no sheep, but at least you get to live!!
Everyone we have over, looks out on our backyard and says, "What's with all the laundry baskets?":msngiggle:
