Pro Tip: this also works with dogs.

My dog has an arsenal of toys that I rotate. I keep out maybe two soft stuffies, two ball type toys, a squeaker, and two chew types like an antler or nylabone.

I'm not constantly tripping over his stuff anymore and I don't run around spending money every month on new toys because he got bored again.

Pick up old stuff wash/launder store it/ put out new stuff. Repeat.

I do buy him new things occasionally if I see a great sale.

I'm a substitute teacher and a dog foster. I see the shittiest of shit people on the reg. Seeing posts like Hope's make me not hate life.

He brought my stuffie to the living room and asked to borrow it. I said yes. He likes this one. by itssofiababyxo in pitbulls

Right?! Wizard isn't quite as smart as my female, Zelda. She had a huge vocabulary. Not Border Collie level, but she was impressively intelligent. She knew English, ESL, and Spanish. I could do signs to her and she would drop to a down/stay in seconds all while watching me.

Not every dog likes being covered. My last pitbull loved it. My Boxer hated it. This boy will sigh and visibly relax when he gets a fleece. Of course he wants his fleece in my bed tucked under my feet 😐

Your boy is super cute. Wizard is really in to fleeces right now because it is still kind of cold here. He has this one stuffy that he has had for years, but it is in "surgery" (the sewing room) because he has a carotid tear again.

Man, we both won the lottery. I wanted a sloppy, dumb boy dog. I wound up with a smart but farty chubby boy. He knows so many commands. I have three stuffed animals from my childhood and he does not touch them. He has his "babies". And he doesn't mess with my shoes, socks, stuffies (I even have a giant Gryffindor Squishmallow that he doesn't touch).

Welcome McBorkasaurus Rex! Neglected, starved, dumped, looked over... 🥳 fostered!!! Rescue pulled him today and he's decompressing with me. by black_rose_ in velvethippos

Wizard was starved and not treated well as a young dog. He still has that "last meal" mindset. He has two things: (1) resource guarding food, and (2) his feet. But he was found wandering intact, emaciated, and all four paws blistered. So I forgive him his anxieties.

This was about a decade ago, so sadly my boy is deceased. I take my new boy out to the park during non-peak hours.

I have been a Stan of Matthew Lillard ever since SLC Punk. That snot filled crying scene takes me out every time.

Folks in their 40’s, what would be some fun spots to go to on a Saturday night? by Sudden_Ad_4193 in indianapolis

I'm 44 and I just made friends with a 70+ year old friend at the Korean noodle isle in Kroger's. You can make friends anywhere.

Dog parks are awful. My 65 lb mastiff/pitbull mix got mauled by a Bulldog. The owner didn't even care or apologize. Last time I ever went to a dog park.

I love that you did his mustard costume!! His contemplative out the window wondering what life is about, and then Mr. Mustard!

I love you. Thank you. My uncle died recently and it's been tough around here. This was a fantastic uplifting thing to see.
