Evolving Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) When you have a quince tree in the backyard. Echo thinks they are much better than balls as there is a constant supply of them at her grabbing level. She prefers to chase a quince around the backyard over the balls she has. Today she has decided to share the love by brining at least three of them in the house through the doggy door. She has also taken a liking to the nectoren tree and the other fruit tree when it was ripe. What other things do peoples dogs find in their backyards to amuse themselves?

Evolving Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 I have not tried them. I am sure Echo has and they meet her standards. But when your standards also include spiders, bugs and gumnuts I don't know how good they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippets Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 With the topic qu the first answer that popped into my mind was "my ex husband". Anyway looks like you baby has fun with the tree. We have a lemon tree that the JRT's love. Will never find lemons below one metre on the tree plus my JRT's have the shiniest teeth on the street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallomph Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 OMG, what a waste of quinces!! They're really hard to find nowadays (old fashioned I guess). They're selling for $6 a kilo right now and are only available for a few weeks of the year. Where do you live??? I'd love to come and raid your tree. I'll trade for them with your dog - tennis balls for quinces??? Or maybe liver treats???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what to do with them. Echo seems to love them that is about all they do. Edited March 4, 2010 by Evolving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
