OK, I give up with picking up toys!

[toomanypaws]

The minute I start puting toys in the basket, my girls start digging out their favorites. This goes on every night! This picture is of Abbey and Hannah digging out their favorites. My other cairn, Kiara already grabbed her favorite before I could take this picture and had it safely tucked in her bed. I know, the stuffing is out of some, but I don't have the heart to throw them away being the girls still love playing w/ them. I'll never understand why some get torn apart and others are never touched.

Do I ever hear you on this one, sista!!! My two are the same-as soon as I try to put them away.......they are RIGHT there!! "Whatcha doin', Mom??" And, back out they come faster than I can put them back in the basket.

Reminds me....heard my oldest son say a 'choice' word the other night along with 'ouch, geez, ouch!!' When I asked him what the matter was, he had stepped on a bone left at the top of the stairs!! Have to be careful just where ya step here in this house, fer sure!

Now I don't even bother to put them away until just before nitey-nite time.

And those blue dental bones with all the little nubbies are extremely painful on bare feet!

Cathy, I do the same thing. I learned when my two boys were very little (my human ones, that is!) that I was wasting my time trying to pick up after them before they were in bed. Same applies now with Tucker and Scruffy. I like to fuss them as I'm going, telling them, "you know, I'm not the maid here!" and they look at me like "uh-huh!!" lol

This is why we spend lots of time in our finished basement! It looks like doggy daycare sometimes! They just can't stand having their toys put in the tub.

You all put toys away?

Add me to the crowd on this one. It's like an open invitation for her to play when I go to put them away. Like "HEY, that's MINE. Leave it there, I wanted it."

I have to hide my pup's basket because he loves tearing the toy basket apart! I have tried plastic tubs, wicker baskets, nothing works. He has fun tearing the toy basket/holder apart, then realizes he can create a mess by digging out his toys.

Hi! Not only does Riley leave his toys everywhere in every room - - - but - - I have also found them tucked into corners of chairs and under my pillows!!! I've told him many, many times - - - "if I wanna play - - I'll let ya know!!!
