Hi Everyone! In the picture above, the yellowish-tan thing to the right under my face was one of my favorite chew toys. I say “was” because Mom had to take it and throw it away about a month ago because I had chewed it down so small, she was afraid I’d choke on it. It was made of bamboo and in the shape of a “T”.

Now you might be asking yourself what does that have to do with this post’s title. Well, I’m sure I’ve told you before that I love to chew things A LOT! Though Mom keeps me well-stocked in chew toys and chewy treats, I don’t always only chew the things Mom gives me for that purpose.

For instance, Monday is laundry day and I follow Mom up and down the stairs and watch as she throws clothing into the washer and dryer several times on that day. I stand very close so I can see everything and sniff some things, and I wait for an opportunity — an opportunity to snatch something and run off to play with it and chew it! My favorite things to grab are socks, and Mom chases me up the steps to retrieve a sock from me. Another thing I like to try to grab and run off with are the white fluffy balls she throws in the dryer. I don’t know why she puts them in the dryer and why she doesn’t want me to play with them. Balls are a great doggy toy! Do any of you put balls in your clothes dryers? If so, do you let your dog play with them or chew on them?
