Gracie and Spike love, LOVE toys but they've played with them since they were puppies. I got Sugar when he was 17 months and he hadn't been as exposed to them and has never really figured out how to play with them. He's 3 1/2 now so I don't think he's going to change. Every once in a while he'll grab a toy and run with it and I'll cheer, run Sugar! and he looks so proud of himself. Spike and Gracie just stare- they have no idea what to do since it's so rare for him to get playful.
