| Too Much Attention Wanted! All my little one wants to do is play! Sometimes, I actually have to do stuff around the house and can't play with him. I feel really bad about it, is there anything I can do? He doesn't much like playing by himself, he always wants that human interaction! Anyone have any ideas on this? Thx! |

| Lots and lots of toys! Higgins has more toys than FAO Schwarz! And he loves them all. We put some of them away for a week, then bring them out again.....he loves seeing his old toys reappear.....just keep rotating them. He has always played very well by himself. Note........ .......having just said that.......We have just arrived at our home in Maine after being in a 17' camper all winter. While it's only been a few hours, Higgins has whined for attention twice and I think I know part of the reason....When we are in our camper, it is arranged so that Higgins is almost always on the bed/sitting area with us. Even up on our little table right up close to us. Now that we are home, he is on the floor and not as "face to face" with us as he was......hmmmmmm.......more on this as the days go on.....

| Maybe he needs his own areas near the couch? Or on the couch? I dunno about sitting near the dining room areas though, Yoda would go all over and want to eat everything we eat! |

| Just depends on the individual store... Usually it's okay if you CARRY them or wear them, I find... You're lucky Toto is only 3 lbs! I've carried Yoda for up to an hour at places. He's NEARLY 7 POUNDS! It's quite the workout on my arm, or my back if he's in my jacket (with head popping out). But yes, I did sign on for this as well.... |

The idea is to put your dog's favorite treat in the center, and this makes it a challenge for him to get that treat out! This will keep him busy, at least long enough for you to post more messages on this board! | |

WHAT?!@! You haven't gotten a bag for Yoda yet?? Otis just got a new bag! His old bag has been "tainted" ever since we found a stray dingleberry in it. I couldn't figure out why he refused to get in his bag. Here's a pix of the new one! Believe me...it's totally cute in person! Last edited by Junebug; 04-29-2004 at 01:16 AM. | |

| LOL... Otis is all pimped out now! No, Yoda has like 10 bags already... Just when we go places, he likes to SEE and look around, and the best place for that is in my arms. He also likes to be able to see us easily. When he's in a bag, sometimes he whines about it. |
