Simple Saturday: The Ultimate Dog Toy

 Just look into those amber eyes, will you? He LOVES this toy!

Here's all you do to make it. Of course you've purchased the most inexpensive 9 inch wide piece of fleece fabric you could find, right? (If you paid more than $3.00, shame on you. Keep it as cheap as you can. That's half the Simple Saturday fun.)

So, all you do is lay it out flat, cut it into three or four long strips, and knot it in random places. Big knots. Little knots. Tie the strips together here and there and everywhere. And then...presto! You've made a Simple Saturday Ultimate Dog Toy!

Tripod hasn't quit playing with it since I gave it to him. He flips it in the air. Gnaws on it. Paws at it.

I'm ready for him to saw some logs on it.

Good night, Tripod.

Simple Saturday Prep: The Ultimate Dog Toy

 This week I am going to show you how to make the simplest dog toy in the world, one that will give your pup hours and hours of pleasure. Paula, Tripod's trainer at Dog Boys made one for him as a reward after he passed a grueling (or rather a fooling) obedience test. He loves this thing, I tell you. And your dog will, too.

The only supplies you need to make the Simple Saturday Ultimate Dog Toy is a piece of fleece fabric about foot wide and some scissors. That is IT!

 Okay...while we're on the subject of dogs - in particular my dog - let me take a moment to tell you about the fun Tripod and I had last weekend. He and I strutted  a little over 3 miles in the Mighty Texas Dog Walk, a fundraiser for the Texas Hearing and Service Dogs. He did such a good job. Good Tripod. He deserves a Simple Saturday Ultimate Dog Toy, don't you think?
