Default household items used as toys

Does your dog have a favorite household item they like to play with? Jasper absolutely loves elastic hair ties. lol! He's figured out to launch them across the room by holding it in his mouth, grabbing it with his paw and pulling his head back. He'll also roll around on the floor with it making funny grunting noises. It's so hysterical, I wish I had a video to share!

I used old sock and put a little bell inside then roll the sock into a ball. My Yorkie likes to chase it.

I have seen a stuff toy that actually had an empty water bottle in side. So when a dog chew on it, it makes crumble noise instead of squeaky noise and when the bottle is too old to play with you can replace with a new one. I think it's a good idea for recycle.

Before I started with B.A.R.F. I sometimes filled Snoopy's whole dinner into an empty water bottle. She had to move the bottle in order to get the food out -a very cheap and easy way of entertaining her for some minutes.

One could also fill a big cardboard box with old corks and and then serve dinner in there -it takes them an eternity to get the food out of there

My dog plays with empty two liter bottles, flip flops, and my mom's slippers.
