Dog Station

So anyone who is already following Beren's blog at: http://berenstale.blogspot.com/ has already seen this.  But for those who haven't made it over to that other blog, I had to share this here too!  I made this!  I was inspired to do this from Pinterest, and I am happy to say that this doesn't fall into the category of "pinterest fails".  Haha!  I love the way it turned out!  And it has been SO incredibly useful!  

I think I once again offended Tarcil by sticking him in the jar with dog treats.  Haha!  :)

Stud Muffin!

I am slightly obsessed with this toy that I bought for Beren!  It is just too cute!  Beren doesn't seem to like it nearly as much as some of his other toys, but he will occasionally play with it.  I had to get Tarcil to pose with this because I think it is so true of Tarcil too!  Haha!  I don't think Tarcil found it nearly as amusing as I did.  :)

Plush Animals

I bought so many new toys for Beren...  I like the variety that he has now!  And I have been intentional about giving him only a certain number of toys each day and then rotating which toys he gets so that he is less likely to get bored of any one toy.  My system seems to be working well, and he hasn't done any damage to my house recently.  I call that a win win!  I do think I offended Tarcil by buying cute furry stuffed animals that are meant to be toys for Beren.  He kinda glared at me when I had him sit next to the squirrel.  Haha!  

Fetch!

Okay so I may have gone a little overboard with buying more toys for my puppy, Beren.  I just can't help spoiling him!  And of course, an entertained puppy is less likely to destroy my house (which he has already proved that he is capable of destroying my house).  Tarcil just wants to make sure that he isn't mistaken for a dog toy.  :)

Dog Rope Balls

I found these dog toys for my puppy Beren for less than a $1 each!  At that price, I thought he should get a couple of them.  :)  And since I regularly spoil Tarcil, I didn't think he would mind seeing them and getting a picture with them.  Poor Penny on the other hand is quite jealous that the other fur babies get new toys and treats so often, and I never buy anything for her except for Christmas.  I actually don't even know when her birthday is even though I have had her since she was born.  The silly cat doesn't play with any of the toys I have gotten her, and every time I give her a treat, she doesn't eat it, but instead she bats it around until she loses it.  So I just shower her with as much love and kisses as she will allow (which isn't much because she is a typical cat).   :)

Treats

I love spoiling my little guy!  And I thought that starting Monday off with treats just sets you up for a good week.  I think we should all follow this practice.  Haha!  :)

This is a bit of a side note, but Halloween will be here before long!  I am starting my preparations, so if any of you have ideas for costumes that you would like to see Tarcil in, let me know now so I can get them made in time!  Thanks!  :)  And of course, if you haven't see Tarcil's costumes from the previous two Halloweens, you can probably dig through my blog to find them, or you can purchase the two eBooks I made which give some behind the scenes!  :)

Windy Day

I am glad it is the weekend!  Tarcil enjoyed a bit of warmth and sunshine earlier this week.  The only downside was the wind.  I think his hair got into his face so he did a quick grooming session to get it back under control.  Haha  :)
