These are a few of Sal’s Favourite Things

So I’ve been told off a little recently by Sally, as apparently she is not appearing on the blog as much as she should be (her paws must have been working hard on the iPad again naughty doggy!), anyway I promised her a post all of her own, to share with you some of her favourite things in the Sally world.

Blankets.
Honestly I’m sure Sally’s brain runs in circles going ‘blankets. blankets. blankets. blankets’ while you straighten them after she has shuffled them all around in circles and then refuses to sit on them again as they are all messed up. She has one which I gave her when she first came home, it’s half fallen apart, has a hole right in the middle and one day when I pop it in the washing machine it isn’t going to come back out – but she loves it and if you try and take it away from her she hangs onto the other end.

Brushes.
Salmonster loves a good brush, I’ve told the story many times of how, when I first got Sal I wasn’t sure what to do, I was scared, she wasn’t meant to be mine and I wasn’t meant to be looking after her and while she loved me from the get go, I only wish I could say the same in return about her. To get myself more used to her I went through many ideas and the one that worked best was brushing her, as she snuggles up to me and while these days our relationship is a lot better, she still loves a good old bush and with the amount of fur she loses – she needs them to.

Toys.
Again toys go back to when I first got her – she didn’t know how to play – in fact they were a completely alien concept to her and it took me a while to teach her playing was fun, I resorted to wrapping up cheese in a hanky and hurling it around the lounge, which progressed onto cheese rubbed onto toys, at which point we learnt she was afraid of squeaky toys and would run away and then look from afar at anything that dared make such a noise at her. These days she is well over her fear of the squeak and more often than not thinks the louder the better and you know what – I don’t mind at all, I just love to see her play.

Water.
Of course after a day of scratching at blankets, being brushed and playing with toys every dog needs their water bowl and I love this one personally, as it filters the water as it flows through the bowl, meaning I know she being well looked after.

So there you have a few of Sally’s favourite things, many of which can be brought from Swell Pets.

Do you have a pet, what is their favourite thing?

& Sally!
