Fur Baby Friday – Summer Sleep Over

I have all these fur babies this week! We are having a summer sleepover. My daughter is on vacation so we had the opportunity for an extended visit with Mocha. These fur babies are having lots of fun with good company, good food, games, and special treats. What does the summer look like for your fur baby?

Ditch The Doggy Blues

Create some fun and ditch the doggy blues!

Fun And Engaging Games

Try out any of the these games to engage in with your baby to ditch the doggy blues. The following games are loads of canine fun for your fur baby to take in! While super packed with lots of interactive fun these games are simple and do not require expensive equipment to play. Check them out!

• Fly a Frisbee
• Tug of War with an old knotted t-shirt of yours
• Fetch is an all time favorite
• Water Play in a kiddy pool or with the water hose
• Stop and Go (Stay and Come Commands but with treats)
• Seek and Find, the object could be you or a toy

Special Summer Treats

Special summer treats are so refreshing after all the fun and engaging games. Make some simple frozen treats to cool them down after playing hard. The following canine treats are healthy and budget friendly. Your fur baby will enjoy summer much more when you give them these!

• Frozen Banana Slices
• Frozen Beef or Chicken Broth Cubes
• Peanut Butter Spoons – chilled not frozen
• Watermelon, Cantaloupe, or Honeydew melon pieces with seeds removed – chilled not frozen
• Apple Slices – chilled not frozen
• Baby Carrots – chilled not frozen

The End Result

The end result when you have a sleep over with all this fun and games is going to be some very happy and well contented fur babies! Your fur baby longs to bond and have fun with you and the rest of the pack. Dogs are very social animals. They were not meant to be solitary creatures. This fills the bill and easily meets their social and bonding needs. Summer is a season to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. What better way to achieve that then to spend time with man’s best friend, your fur baby. With or without a sleep over you have to at least try out the games and summer treats. Have a fun weekend with your fur babies!
