Bonnie's a funny one when it comes to playing -- still hasn't got to fetching but loves chew toys and has a soft toy which she seems to 'mother' - carrying out around, taking it to her basket at nighttime etc....
When walking out though why is it that she will pick up old sticks lying on the ground instead of playing with a nice pet toy, or a ball or frisbee !?!?!?
Must be the smells/natural nature of it I guess... I know that sticks can be dangerous, e.g. splintering, dog falling on them/hurting mouth etc... but she seems to love them and pulls a very sad/confused face when I take them off her!!
...wonder if I should "plant" one of her many "as new" !! dog toys in the field (for her to "find") before I take her out there tomorrow ???
any ideas
