A Thing With Bells

We love new things, and new things with bells are even better, so when the head peep raided the clearance bin at Petco and found us a new interactive toy with bells on it, we were all in.

First, there was the Pierre sniff test.

Then the Newton sniff test.

Followed by the team sport: synchronized sniffing.

None of Newton’s high-flying moves were documented, but they are the reason that sturdy toys are a must. Here, we see Newton preparing for a leap.

Pierre and Ashton, on the other hand, liked their bells at ground level.

Pierre was the final victor, putting the bitey on the bell toy and making sure that it was all his.

    The synchronized sniffing always gets a good pounce started!

    That must have been one jiggly fun toy!

    We love your collars. Mommy would like to ask your head peep where she got them from? Please?

    We’d never thought of synchronised sniffing before but it looks like fun.

    Oh Pierre you are just so adorable. You remind us so much of our Mr Jinx. I can see bells are a lot of fun for all of you to play with.

    I love toys with bells but I have been known to bite them off. Therefore, my mom feels that I have to be supervised when I play with a bell toy (which, with her, means I hardly ever see the toy again).
