Lets start with the beds. Our crate pad situation was getting a little sad around here. Kerrigan still had the cheap crate pad we bought in a pinch the day we adopted her. Copley had a crate pad made out of recycled bottles but it was very lumpy and didn't look so great. With Copley still on his slow return to normal activity after a possible knee injury he spends a lot more time than he used to. Getting him a memory foam mattress seemed like a good idea. It would support his joints and hopefully hold heat a little better in the winter. Unhappy that I couldn't get anything locally that I liked I turned to online shopping. Copley got a new crate, orthopedic crate bed and crate cover. Kerrigan is staying in her airline type crate for the time being but she got a nicer crate bed.
As you can see Kerri likes Copley's crate too :) Overall I am happy with what I got but I still wish someone would make a high quality crate pad/bumper/cover set. This stuff is good for what I need but I would gladly pay more for slightly higher quality stuff that was not made in China. Maybe I need to start a business here...
On the toy front I got this thing called a Tug a Jug. Copley had one before but got bored with it before he ever got anything out of it! Then one day it broke (human error) and I just never replaced it. Well I saw them on sale so I got one for Copley and one for Kerri thinking Kerri would love it. In a strange turn of events Copley loves it now and has figured it out a lot better. He can get every last treat out of it this time. No idea what changed but I am glad I gave it a second try. The jug is a good toy for Kerri too, but being a little less food motivated she tends to get out a few treats then go look out the window... then get another treat... then sniff around... then discover Copley got all her treats while she was distracted.
[Insert cute videos here] Seriously though blogger hates me. I have been trying for days to get these videos to upload. You will have to settle for pictures until I have time to make a youtube account and hope they upload easier there. The videos are really cute and show how Copley has mastered the perfect technique for removing treats from the tug a jug.
Those are nice!
