Doggie registry?

When people announce that they're expecting, you usually receive an invitation to a baby shower and you "shower" the mother to be with loads of gifts. Diapers, toys, onesies, etc.

They don't have doggie registries. Why is that? Not that I would have done one, but getting a puppy is a step towards a child, and while I've never had a child and never been pregnant (thank god!), Trixie has changed our lives in the same way that a baby would.

We have lovely friends and family members that have decided that sending doggie gifts sans a doggie registry would be fun! So here is Trixie's newest toy:

It is a tree stump with 3 holes in it. Inside the stump are 3 squeaky squirrels. The object is to hunt out all the delicious squirrels and annihilate them all! Clean em' out!

Trixie LOVES to play with it. You can watch her first time right here! Thanks to Jeff, Yoko, and Mei for the lovely other toys as well. Trixie has yet to play with them. We don't want her TOO spoiled, now do we?
