If your're crafty...or not!

Ok I'm no Martha but I was looking at the JB Wholesale catalog this weekend (beatuiful boxer babies in there BTW!) and saw a fleece braded tug toy. It was $9.95.
So I said I can make that! Off to the fabric store to get some fleece and I made some! Oskar and Disney love them! There about 3.5 feet long. It only cost me about $10.00 for the fleece and they can't stop playing with them! I have a picture that I'll put in my gallery tomorrow!

Yes, please include instructions! Beau thinks my fleece throws are his toys! I need to get him some fleece of his own!

I don't know what it is about fleece but Oskar loves it too! I bought about a yard and cut it into about 6in. strips you could cut them any size. I took 3 pieces and tied them at the end and braded it to the bottom and tied it together.
The awesome thing is you can throw them in the wash! I put it in his crate this morning and he snuggled with it! Hubby was playing tug all day yesterday with him and Oskar was going to town! He was also trotting around the house with it in his mouth and it was dragging behind him!

Can't wait to see the pics. Micah likes my husbands old socks tied together. He will hook one foot in the circle and then play tug of war with himself.

Thanks for the great idea Jenny! I will have to get to the store and buy some fleece and make some for Mason - he'll love them. I can't wait to check your gallery tomorrow for pics! Mason loved tug-of-war and I took his ropes away a while back now.

Isn't JB Wholesale great? They have the cutest pictures of boxers. I think the two men who started it were breeders.

YES! Oskar loves tug-of-war but we also took his ropes away. Now he can tug on the fleece ropes and they are much safer!
Happy brading!!! HAHA

Just uploaded some pictures. It may take a while though.

Cool! I've been saving the "grunters" from deceased hedgehogs with plans to make some new toys for our Boxers. I'll have to get off my but and do it!
