Today is Toy Washing Day;(

Howllow Fellow Basset Hound and Toy Washing Day Haters……Chaps and Emma are sure one of those!

We wash all of the toys about once a month. It is always a bit touchy because the hounds hate not having their toys. Neither kid plays all that much with their toys but they love knowing the toys are laying in piles all over the house. They walk by and smell around them. Lay next to them. Chaps will occasionally nibble on his favorite.

Toy wash day is a cause for concern…Here is Chaps very concerned. The laundry shoot door is open and Grandma is waiting in the basement.

We never put them down the shoot unless they are going right into steaming water in the wash machine. We never use soap. I have a fear that all of the soap will not rinse out and then the kids will get sick.

Chaps is very worried! There goes the monkey toy!

As you can see in the background, Emma is guarding the living room toys.

All’s well that end’s well! All toys were washed, dried and back in piles within a few hours. The balance was restored to their world, (and the monkey smelled fresh)!

More keeping the balance later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

    I can relate to Chaps’ fear! I wouldn’t want someone throwing my possessions down a wall and they disappear. Geez!

    Toy washing day should become extra treat day. I think if they had some chewies this would keep their minds off this ordeal.
