Hi! I thought I'd share something with everyone in hopes it can help someone or maybe I'll find out everyone does this lol. I tie pieces of old toys and other things into my hoodie strings to give Ollie something fun to do while watching TV with me. I don't always do it when were just playing but I do sometimes and he loves having something to chew and I love not having my clothes destroyed! Here are some pics to see what I'm talking about. :orange:

Oh wow I actually helped people! Yay. Well we'll see I suppose. It originated when Ollie would always eat the teeth off my zippers and ruin my hoodies with zippers. I would always try to give him the hoodie strings instead. Sometimes it worked but not always so I decided I had to make the hoodie strings more interesting than the zippers. I started with tying one of those green coffee stoppers from Starbucks onto it and he loved it! Plus those stoppers are free and take a while for him to chew up. I eventually started using parts of old toys too but the Starbucks stoppers are still a favorite. Also...Him not chewing the zippers only worked 75% of the time so I just wear the ones with no zippers now but the toys on them stayed because he just loves having something to do while on my shoulder or playing while we watch TV. One of my best Parront ideas!

My Perjo loves to go afterthe metal rings that hoodie strings run through. This is a neat idea.

Great idea! For whatever reason, TV just does hold their attention as much as ours. Wonder who that makes the smarter ones! :D
