Hi, there! I’m Tipper Allen, and guess what? My Momma has a new game that I love SO MUCH! She puts all my toys into a box and puts them in the bedroom. She calls the game “cleaning up.” Okay, so then, after she hides all my toys in the box, I get to come in and pull them all out again.
It’s so much fun! Sometimes I lose track of a toy or forget about it, but this game puts them all together in one place. Every time we play it, I find a toy I forgotted about and it’s like getting it new all over again!
This one is my faborite this week. It’s called a Kong. It’s hollow, and it has holes in the top and bottom. Sometimes, Momma puts treats inside, but I play wif it even wifout treats!
Here’s how I play:
See the terrible dead Kong hangin’ from my mighty jaws? I hab slained it! Slained it DEAD! Momma is so proud of me!
A WRITING PROMPT FOR ANIMALS: Does your hooman have a trick to make your old toys new again?

February 24, 2018 at 7:09amYou go, Tipper. That Kong will be back, but shoving it under and out from under works every time. Our dog shoves her toys under the couch, but she’s too big to get them back out. If you ever need a job…

February 24, 2018 at 8:46amMaybe for Tipper, but MiMi and MuMu would tell you “we have people for that.” MiMi knocks her little foam ball under the couch and then looks to my wife to get it out.

February 25, 2018 at 7:06pmAww! I didn’t know they made such tiny Kongs! Our Sadie has the ‘most durable and complicated’ Kong, because she is smart pupper and lives to chew.
We had a basket they didn’t clean up, too. Now we have a drawer and I feel more in control of their clean up game 😉 I can open the drawer for proper investimagation or not.
This weekend, Cletus has killed all the chocolate milk rings and hairbands, over and over. Clara helped some, but Catticus just watches them with awe.

February 26, 2018 at 12:24pmI love the drawer idear! Imma do that! Oh, yes, the milkies … how they love the milkies. Sara’s late cat, Al, would never play with anything else.
