The very kind folks over at PetSmart sent Daisy a pretty gift pack of toys from their new Toys R Us Pets Collection and WOW are they adorable! Maybe you’ve seen the TV commercials already about the new Toy Chest dog toy aisle. Well, PetSmart has been working with Dr. Sophia Yin, veterinarian and applied animal behaviorist, to provide insights on how toys and play help develop a happy, healthy pet. This Toys R Us Pets Collection includes dog toys designed especially for all stages of development from Puppyhood to Adult Years and even with the Senior Dog in mind! There are over 100 whimsical Toys R Us items available at PetSmart stores and online at PetSmart.com including:
Toys R Us Pets Patterned Body Canvas Caterpillar: This toy has 5 squeakers for extra fun! Remember to always supervise dogs with squeaker toys…Daisy and I enjoy playing fetch and a light game of tug with this one!
Toys R Us Pets Wacky Water Bottle Crunchers: You know how dogs love to play with empty water bottles? Well, Daisy sure does! This cute toy covers the water bottle so that a pup can enjoy the crunchy sound and fun, without you having to worry about them hurting their mouth or swallowing pieces of broken plastic if they crack the bottle!
Toys R Us Pets Rope Tug Animal Dog Toys: This colorful and fun toy is great for tug, fetch and as a light chew toy. Daisy always loves rope toys and this one was no exception! You can also see her in action during our K9 Kamp Week 3 Highlights where this toy is featured in one of our Doggone Minute To Win It activities!

It’s week #3 of K9 Kamp and the challenge was Just One Doggone Minute to Win It! We all agree that it can be tough to find time for fitness each day, so the goal was to initiate a fun fitness game with your dog whenever you have a spare minute.
Since I work from home, Daisy usually comes over to poke at me and try to get my attention sometime during the day but I’m often guilty of ignoring her or sending her away with a pat and a toy when I’m busy. By the end of the day, I’m usually stiff from sitting too long, and my eyes hurt from staring at the computer monitor! This week was fun because I had an official excuse to get up and play for a few minutes throughout a day! I wouldn’t say that our games were all that original but they did get me up from my desk more than usual and I’m thankful for that! Here’s a rundown:
Indoor Frisbee Toss:
We took advantage of Daisy’s KONG Flyer and enjoyed a few quick games of indoor frisbee. Daisy was thrilled since I usually reserve this game for the park or beach, but I figured that since the Flyer is floppy and flexible rather than hard like a regular frisbee, that it wouldn’t do much damage if we were careful! After a few times of catch and fetch the flyer, it turned into a game of tug so we had to stop before we destroyed our toy!
Football Roll:
This game is also called ROFL (Rolling Our Football and Laughing!) Instead of tossing the football, we crawled around on the floor with it. I tried to roll it away and Daisy tried to bring it back or stop me. She was general fascinated with the way it rolled since she doesn’t usually get to play with it…Don’t tell Papa we used his toy! My exercise was mostly laughing as Daisy pounced, batted and nudged at the football with her nose as she tried to figure out how to pick it up!
Rope Ring Tug and Toss:
I got a pretty good biceps and triceps workout trying out Daisy’s adorable new rope ring toy. This was pretty much your standard game of tug but every now and then I threw it and did some arm stretches and toe touches while she went to fetch it. I know it was suggested that we try to work in some squats or lunges but Mama’s knees just aren’t having any of THAT!
We also played a little Monkey in the Middle with Papa and had a quick game of Hide and Seek but you’ll have to take our word for it. The most difficult part of the challenge this week was trying to take photos while playing! We’re having so much fun…I can’t believe we are headed into the LAST Week of K9 Kamp! I’ll be posting product reviews and giveaways featuring the KONG Flyer and adorable Rope Ring Toy featured in this week’s challenge so stay tuned for those!
