Comet has a definite favorite - read on and see if you can figure out which one!

Our Toy Projects:

Paddio Sticks are indoor/outdoor dog chase and chew toys that really intrigue Comet. They bounce, roll and switch direction. Watch out for that dogling rivalry if you have more than one dog!

Two other homemade dog toys are the Basic Sock Ball and the Sock Swing Ball.

These indoor/
outdoor toys are easy and quick to make out of holey or un-
matched socks.

The Whipwhir ("Whipper" as Stan dubbed it) is one toy Comet can’t get enough of, indoors or out. Again, a very simple thing to make, and it provides GREAT EXERCISE, especially on those bad weather inside days.

The Whipwhir has attachments and SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS that are important to follow.
