Toby the Dog Amuses Self in the Snow

Rain or shine. Sleet or snow.  Doesn't matter what mother nature gives us for weather, I am out there playing. I'm a Chesapeake Bay retriever, and I LUV my Kong!

Check me out having fun in the sun (and the snow)



For more fun in the snow videos visit my You Tube Channel... that's right a dog with his own You Tube station.  http://www.youtube.com/user/TeamTobyTv

These are a few of my favorite things.....



Toby loved to chase his orange Kong
This one floated which was great for us, we didn't have to rescue the Kong
because it never sunk!

       


One of my favorite dog accessories was this plastic container that clip to Toby’s dog leash. It held one roll of “pooper scooper” bags.



I can’t get over the cost for the refill bags, $120 bags for less then $7!




Toby was a very strong dog, however fortunately for us, he was a good walker.  We loved the Easy Walk Leash becuase it is safe, doesn't harm the dog and provides the handler with good control of the dog in a gentle way. 

You might be wondering what Toby is so focussed on here.  He is waiting until we say "take it" so that he can have his squeeky bowling pins.  They sound just like a duck.  He had a set that were blue. Check out this video and see his excitement (and the great duck noises he was able to make).

The Mighty Playful Kong

Toby’s favorite toy was The KONG. Just hearing the word would set Toby into high gear running around the house or yard searching for one of his Kongs. His favorite was the bright orange floating Kong (which we loved too, because we never had to run into the lake and retrieve it after it sank). Watching Toby with his Kong was a great reminder for me about the importance of focus on goals. When Toby was focused on his Kong, nothing around him seemed to be as important. He was able to maintain focus and ignore the distractions, something that is important for us, especially those of us distracted by BSI’s (bright shiny objects).

Here are a few lessons I learned from Toby about Focus and Goals

1.          Chase your dreams, not your tail
2.      Keep your eyes on the Kong (the goal)
3.      When you reach your goal bark a bit, share the news with others
4.           Celebrate!
