Gryff found a 'new' toy.

It's actually a dangling toy that he chewed off of a cat perch. He wants me to throw it so we can fetch it. Constantly. All day long. Some times I have to hide it to give my arm a rest. The boy has an amazing amount of energy!!

Laser pointers can save a tired arm. My dog loves to chase it although he’s figured out where it comes from and wants to attack the pointer.

Gryff has abandoned the whiffle ball for this toy. Carys still likes to chase whiffle balls and she's getting close to figuring out if she brings it back to me, I'll toss it for her again.

4. Years ago one of our kitties loved to play fetch too, endlessly! It was so cute, but

it did get tiring for our arms! Finally we would stand at the top of the stairs and throw his toy down to the foot. Racing up and down the stairs a few times was the only thing that would tire him out!

She brings the toy (usually a wadded-up ball of Reese's cups) back and meows to me to throw the ball again and again.

That, and his great personality, got him adopted very quickly.

Madoc likes to try to break into the jar. It's pretty funny to watch.

Right now he, Arthur and Carys are all napping. Gryff is keeping me company while I watch a really bad horror movie. He is such a sweet, considerate boy.

She would bat it around the living room for hours! If it went downstairs, she would go down, get it in her mouth, and carry it back upstairs for another go. She often only stopped when it went under furniture that I couldn't retrieve it from.
