Toys Galore

I've discovered that it is in the kitchen where there is just one high window and a distant view of the sliding door that Langley is most easily able to be engaged. However, he does like to pace and "hunt" in there along the baseboards so I don't want to use the kitchen so much with him that it becomes another room where he gets lost in his compulsions.  To do this I think we are going to try to use the kitchen with him only for practice with engaging with people and toys.

To help with this task, I met with a good friend last night who drove down with a sack full of puzzle toys.  Since Langley is so food motivated, this kind of toy will really distract him and having a big variety will allow me to keep mixing it up so things are always new and interesting.  Wish us luck.

Today I'll also be heading back to work so it will be good to have some new and interesting things to keep him busy during the longer stretch of crate time.  In this photo he's playing with the a rubber ball that you have to pull other toys out of.  It comes with a squarish squeaky dog toy inside of it but to make it easier you can fill it up with a bunch of other toys to make it a little easier.
