Catherine was kind enough to carry up a basket of clean toys that I had washed for the pups. She put it in the living room...
The pups usually take a toy outside with them each time they go out. Needless to say, plenty of toys end up outside and are usually in the mud and rain before they come back in. We gather them up outside and put them down the laundry chute to be washed and dried, then they appear in the living room once again.
The fun part about all of this is that the pups act like they have just gotten a basket of brand new toys every time this happens.
Win-Win!

A wash is easier on the wallet than going to the store, and if the pups don't mind...
Hi Tanya,
You are so right about the wash being more economical than buying new toys. The pups get plenty from Catherine who picks up toys when she sees them on sale AND the dogs earn many of the new toys by doing well at the dog shows. They get to pick a toy from the toy bin when they have a successful run.
I truly don't mind washing the toys after they have been outside and it gives me the opportunity to run them through a cycle with laundry sanitizer. It's easy enough to toss them into the washer and dryer. What is getting hard for me is bending over to pick them all up. I've tried to get the dogs to bring them in, but that has disadvantages because the dirty (muddy, etc.) toys from outside then end up all around the house.
