It’s almost here! The Holiday
Season that is. Lots of folks don’t like
“the holidays” because they feel rushed and stressed out. Not me, I love them.
Sure, we work more time at the Studio making our gift baskets, but that’s
fun. It’s fun because we are making gifts that make people and pets happy. I ‘specially like my job when I’m testing new
toys or filling the pet gift baskets with them. I make sure there are lots of toys in them cuz
from experience I know you can NEVER have enough toys. And treats, you can never have too many of
those either.
Different pets like different toys.
Personally, I like toys that I can chase or play tug of war with. Right now my favorites are the blue ball that
makes a flashing light when it bounces and my tug toy made out of a fire hose. I drop the ball at the top of the stairs
watch the blinky light go all the way down.
If I get tired of going after it, I let Mom get it for me and put it
back in the toy box. The fire hose tug
toy is really like two toys cuz it’s also a good carry around one.
Since DixieLee came to live with us, we had to change the kinds of toys
that we get. She didn’t get the nickname
Dixie The Destroyer for nothing. She
should work for a pet toy company. If a
toy lasts for more than five minutes with her, they can say it is indestructible.
When she moved in she ate all my soft cuddly and squeaky toys, but that’s
okay since they weren’t my favorites anyway. Now our toy box is filled with
toys like Kongs and antlers. We love
antlers.
I have to admit, I’m still learning what toys should go in our cat gift
baskets. Since we don’t have a cat that lives
with us, I have to rely on the cat friends we’ve met on line. Obviously I like social media. I have this
blog, I sometimes write for the company blog, I manage the Laurel Mountain Basket Co Pet Division Facebook page and I have accounts with sites like
3MillionDogs.com and PetPav.com. There
are some really smart cats on PetPav.com so I get good advice from them.
Cats love treats too so we make sure we put lots of treats in our cat
gift baskets. Cats seem to like shiny
things and feathers. They also like
balls that they can hit with their paws and chase. We have lots of different kinds of balls. I like to put the little ones with a bell
inside them in most of our cat gift baskets cuz those seem to be a favorite
with our cat friends. The best cat toy,
I think anyway, is the one that looks like a mouse. It is soooo cute.
Well, time to check the inventory to make sure we have enough toys for
the upcoming Holiday Season.
