You'd be surprised what they like to watch on tv!
My husband made this "chair" for her to get up close when she watches Dog TV.

She also likes football...

I love it! I want one for Callie

She tells me when she wants to do tricks for treats with this one . The piano talks of playing a lot so she plays with that when she wants to tell me "let's play,"

She watches the birds and whatever else decides to cross her path

"Chairs" in 2 other locations to watch out the window

Someplace like a solid chair that wouldn't tip over to attach a piece of elastic to a toy? Zoey loved this as a puppy and still does to this day. We had to keep the thing hanging for her , she goes spastic on it now and our new baby grabbed a hold of it the other day to give it a pull...

Wow Zoey! Your baby won't ever be bored with all that! Cute pics too.

Mental stimulation and fun play- might be just the thing!

Kyjen Paw Flapper Puzzle Dog Toy

This is not the one we have but very similar. Also, perhaps your gal would like a ball better I it had a squeaker in it? Those ones are lilah's favorites- she really just can't get enough of them!

Thanks for your suggestion. I think a puzzle toy would be a great idea and I I think she would like a ball puzzle a bit more than anything else. (Strangely, she does not seem to like squeakers! If she chews a toy/ball and it squeaks, she leaps up and stares at it, looking very guilty, as if she has hurt it! She is a sensitive soul. LOL!) Yavnay sent me a link yesterday (thanks so much Yavnay - it is such a good site and has given me lots of ideas) and it suggests using a cupcake baking pan and balls to make a puzzle. It is so easy to do and I feel she would enjoy this game. You may like to have a look at that site yourself as it is really good and has lots of ideas.

Thanks again for your reply.

Hi Zoey Zandaya - what a star you are to think of all these excellent ways of entertaining your baby! I feel like a neglectful mommy! I am certainly going to try them all. I had never thought of using baby toys - what a great idea. I am going to do the bottle with the treat in it tomorrow, for sure. I love the tunnel and I am going to look out for one like it. Your baby is so very cute looking out of the window!! Adorable.

Thanks SO much for all your ideas - you have helped me a lot.

So glad to help..... And Petsmart carrys those tunnels ...they are a blast.
I got her a baby's rocking horse for Christmas , it's about as big as a 12 " ball....all she has to do is tap it and it rocks and kids voices come out of it .....and she looooves kids voices. Lol

Doesn't miss a thing out the backside window .....when we hear he neighbors 2 lab dogs barking when they let them out to play ...I'll usually hear them first ..I say "whooooo let the dogs out?!" And she'll go running to the window "bow wow ..bow wow"!! Lol
That's this picture

When we leave she will lay in the front till we get home! Lol

That's adorable! How funny mine love to kill the squeakers! And even after they don't squeak, they still like to make them do that popping noise.

Love it! And you don't spoil your doggie at all...

Mine LOVE the Nina Ottesson puzzles. We feed meals in them. So twice a day their minds get exercised. Helps tire them out!!
