How About a Stick?

One of the best parts of having a dog is playing with it. And playing with a dog makes you feel young and helps you get some exercise too. Best of all, most dogs are ready to play any time that you are.

I’ll bet you have been to several stores looking for and purchasing dog supplies and toys. There is a wide variety of toys out there – and at all price ranges.

You can buy pet toys anywhere from a dollar store all the way up to dog specialty stores. Some examples of common dog toys are Frisbees, balls, rope toys, chews and squeaky toys. One of the cutest kinds of toy is the one shaped like a piece of meat. Does the dog get this similarity? I doubt it.

Most people think of fetch when they think of dogs and sticks and fetch is a very fun game. The dog will get a lot of exercise and you can stand still if you want to. You can put as much or as little effort into a game of fetch as you want to. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it?

So, go out there and buy all the expensive dog toys you want – your dog will thank you. But for that great big wet kiss and a complete licking, you’ll find the best all around dog toy as close as your back yard – a stick!
