So funny watching him jump around with those little short legs!

Yeah I think this is a great idea too but whenever I go to oppy's and have a look I can never find any without eyes or noses or bean fillings... What's wrong with eyes and noses? All of Hugo's soft toys have eyes and/or noses. And can't you just cut them off? Im guessing its a worry incase the dog chews them off and swollows them.

Riley's got a mountain of dog toys. Some he's never been interested in. The ones he always goes back to are a yellow ball he's had since he was a pup, that he chewed the handle off (I think it was a jolly pet one) - its never punctured, but has lost its squeak now. His Mega Ring Tuffy - he's had that about 3 years and plays with it every day. Then his Kyjen bottle buddy and Kyjen Invincible snake. He's got others he plays in phases with, but the ones above are the ones he never seems to forget about. ETA - when he was a pup he loved his Kong too, and his sandpit!

Oh gosh, I just love those first two.

Yep, thats the same one. I've got a stash of them here to list on the website. OH thinks they won't sell because Im probably the only one that thought it was a good idea Glad I'm not :D

The birthday cake toys are great, I bought 8 of them recently for my Jasper's 1st birthday & the rest of his brothers & sisters from my 1st litter. They love them, but I had to eventually take it of Jasper for a while as I got sick of hearing the "happy birthday" tune. Yes I can see how it would become annoying. Maybe it will be one of those toys that comes out for a week a year

Riley gets a icecream cake - well a slice of it, and a new toy. I just got all excited as I ordered some new dog toys in and got a dog toy birthday cake that plays the happy birthday tune Riley's going to get one of those for sure for his next birthday.

Week 27/52 - Riley by shellandriley, on Flickr

I just measured the collar, and on the smallest hole it measures approx 54cm. If your dog's neck is smaller than that it will be no good. I have smaller in purple and pink but not red

I think it probably will be, but Ill check and see what size it is on the smallest hole.

What size are you after? I've got quite a big one here in red with studs on it - its 70cm. Not sure what sizes its adjustable to (I can check tonight if needed). Its the rocket stud ones listed on our website. Happy to send it for the cost of postage if the size suits as we don't stock them anymore.

Yard doesn't bother me at all, although generally if we go away with Riley we'll go somewhere a bit remote, on a acre etc. If we take Riley on holidays he's always inside with us, outside with us (Great recall) or if we go out he goes with us, so we never leave him in the yard so no need for it to be fully fenced etc.

I know a fair few people who stick them in the dishwasher without any problems. I leave Rileys soaking in warm water, then use a brush to clean it.

Here's the photo

They are like the Nina Ottosson toys - do they have all different types?

I got riley some pjs from meg and they are great. I will post a pic when i get to my desk. I have no idea how to do it from my phone

I bought a bottle of red once because it had a dog on it and a lovely story about a dog on the back. It tasted horrible

Week 26 - a struggle this week - ran out of time. Week 26/52 - Riley by shellandriley, on Flickr

I've been suffering with quite bad morning sickness so Id be feeling fairly rubbish before I even got on the boat Im thinking next year I will go out, but this year I will have to make do with watching from the shore.

Riley gets a icecream cake for his birthday every year - well, he gets a piece and the cat gets a piece and OH and I take care of the rest

I went again on Sunday - there was alot more whales but this time they were further out - too far for my camera. I nearly booked myself on the whale watching cruise, but pulled out as I was worried Id get sick. I wish I went though, as I saw the boat out there and they would of seen heaps of whales.

Week 25/52 - Riley by shellandriley, on Flickr

Congratulations! Love the shot.

Nice shot - I like the cloudy version the best - its a bit of both of the other two rolled into one.

Whales are so unpredicable We were watching for about a hour and a half and saw nothing, then went and had a icecream, came back and were sat down for about 5 minutes when I got those shots, then waiting another 40 mins and nothing after that. I was lucky to get those shots as the whale only came out of the water twice - that and im still very new to learning the ropes with the 7D. I might have to a bird watching trip, OH would like it too.
