Welcome to my blog. My name is Tori, and I love my dog. However, he also gets digestion issues from eating too quickly and gets quickly bored. Because of that, I have had to figure out ways to make 'puzzles' that hide food in them. Searching slows down his eating process, and the non-treat-based homemade toys distract my pup from naughtiness. I love making toys, and I hope you like these ideas as well. I might post a few other things too depending on what I want to write about each day. Enjoy! I plan to write between taking care of the kids and working, but I look forward to sharing with you.
