FREE e-book "8 Things to Know About Veterinary Care"

October 12, 2011

Lilly, our intrepid canine heroine, is picky when it comes to toys she’ll fetch. However, she also remains connoisseur of the silliest sticks imaginable. Often she’d rather play with little more than a piece of mulch than the fanciest fetch toy out there. These photos tell that story.

Lilly takes FETCH seriously … as you’ll see.

Throw it. Throw it.

  1. Hi there, nice to meet you! Lilly is the cutest little thing!

    I have two golden retrievers who won’t fetch outside. If I throw a ball or stick, they look at me like I’ve lost my mind!

  2. When we’re walking I’ll often grab a stick to do a little tug or fetch. But I still can’t tell which one is really going to attract Honey’s interest. Sometimes she just looks at me as if to say, “Oh, really? That one?”

    It must be a smell thing. I’m going to start sniffing the sticks to figure out which one will catch her attention.

    So Lilly isn’t the only fussy fetcher.

  3. Hi Y’all!

    Yes sticks are always good.

    Isn’t it just like a human kid? Lots of expensive toys, but the human plays with a pot and a spoon or a stick and tin can. 🙂

    Y’all come by now,
    Hawk aka BrownDog
