The Best Things in Life Are Free...

...ok, so not totally free. Some of Ginger and Boo's favorite toys are empty bottles. The bottles aren't exactly "free" but if you are only going to drink what is in them and then get rid of them anyway, why not let the pups have some fun! Ginger has always liked bottles. In fact, we have to be very careful not to leave them sitting around as she's also quite the accomplished thief! She has even stolen bottles from guests and taken bottles that still have water or soda in them!


Lately, however, Ginger has discovered that if she chews the lid off of the bottle, she can then chew the lid into tons of tiny pieces. Thankfully she always spits them out instead of swallowing them!
When we first got Boo, he had no idea why Ginger was chewing on plastic! In fact, he was a bit afraid of the noise it made. After a week or two of observing Ginger, he caught on and now loves bottles as much as she does! (although he's not as interested in the lids)


I know some people would say that playing with plastic bottles isn't "good" for dogs, but I say why not save some money and let them have fun!
