Where do you buy...?

Where do you buy your dogs/cats toys and treats? Do your pets get to go along? Are there any dogs that enjoy cats toys and vice versa?

Gidget loves the pull tail mouse that cats play with. Dexter loves the battery operated mouse that rolls around, he loves to chase it.

Raven loves to play with the cat toys! My cats play with little mice. They make a sound when you shake them, kind of like rice inside! Raven LOVES it. But then again, Raven also thinks she IS a cat !!

We usually buy our toys at Petcetera (http://www.petcetera.ca/page118.htm) Where I am, of course, a Petcetera PLUS member. Or sometimes we go to Petsmart (http://www.petsmart.com/ps/main.jsp)
Raven usually tags along ... She chews on everything that she sees and of course we have to get it for her.

The cats like to steal Ravens chewies every once in a while. Raven will leave her chewy on the floor and go back to where she left it and it is GONE! You can see the look on her face. It is as if she is thinking "Now, I know I left it here ... But where did it go?"

How can you not love and spoil them???? I have been trying to cut back on the amount of toys that I buy for them, but it is SOO HARD. I admit it .. I AM ADDICTED TO BUYING ANIMAL TOYS

Is that a bad thing???

I too love the Petsmart but we don't have one around here so we usualy go to Walmart or to the Pet store here. When we unload from the store Buddy goes and puts his nose in all the bags to see what's for him. He knows that if we go to the store he usualy has someithing in the bag.

Raven is the same way! She sniffs the bags one at a time! And 9 times out of 10 there IS something for her or one of the cats!

I can't help but spoil mine too, they have two clothes baskets full of toys. I am a dogtoyaholic too!

Gidget and Dexter know that I show them everything I buy in the plastic bag, because how can mommy come home from shopping and not have anything in the plastic noise maker for them.

Always a toy being played with by Gidget and Dexter thinks hers is much better than his and he runs past and yanks it out of her grip, and runs. Then the growling chase game begins and they end up repeating this for a long time.

It is so funny to watch this I just love it though.

We will shop anywhere and everywhere

I can only buy Shadow's food Tisol as they seem to be the only ones to carry it, but toys and treats I will get anywhere whether it be Petcetera or Bosleys or Safeway or Petsmart. I'll go to the ends of the earth for my baby girl to get her treats!

I live above a mall, so I usually go downstairs and buy the toys in a store called Pet's Place. Every once in a while, I go to bigger stores just to see what they have.

Calvin doesn't care about little mice somehow..unless I spray it with some catnip

I can make him most happy by walking around with a simple cord, a laser beam or a tabeltennis ball

My boyfriend would NEVER allow me to live above a mall

I LOVE to shop!!

I have to admit I am a Wal-Mart shopper. Honestly with my animals that is the only way I can afford them sometimes.

Once in a while though I will go to the "Puppy Store" as I call it to take the dogs as an outing. Believe me they know what "Puppy Store" means. They like to think that the bulk treat aisle is the "all you can eat buffet"...LOL.
