After getting so worked up about Darwin's brother's situation (more on that later) I distracted myself by making brownies, and then working on Darwin's entry for Biggie's Dog Pile Contest. She was at daycare all day, so it was prime time to pile as many things on her as I could. With her being a big dog, her toys are all pretty big, so I scavenged to try and find smaller things near by.
Here was one attempt before we ate dinner:
I tried to get our baguette on her too, but the tomatoes were too distracting as they are one of her favorite treats.
In the end I was able to get at least 17 (visible) objects on her and I was sooo happy!
Here's our list of objects we sent to Biggie:
1. red tug toy
2. red bone
3. bite me bone
4. stuffed pig
5. green rope
6. favorite sheep
7. beanie baby armadillo
8. fish
9. red and grey rope
10. tan pig
11. pink bone
12. reindeer
13. tomato 1 (yes a tomato)
14. tomato 2
15. pink rope
16. dad's sunglasses
17. pink leopard disk toy
There's technically 18-19 on her, but they are under everything and you can't see them from this view so we'll stick with the 17. I was quite the happy camper that I got her to stay still for so long.
See that yellow toy in her mouth? After I took everything off her and put things away, she fell asleep like that... with the toy in her mouth.
All that staying still and daycare really wears a girl out!
I've been trying to practice Darwin's entry for Biggie's Dog Pile Contest. She's not one to lay still very long, and even when sleeping when I try to put stuff on her, she has to see what's going on. And if she notices a toy she wants to play with it even if she's tired. Makes piling very difficult.
Day one of trying I managed to get up to 12 toys...
and then....
{ooohhh, toys, I want to play!}
So I ended the attempt by doing this:
The second time we tried it was more of the same:
{I'll take this guy if you don't mind!}
I finally managed to get her to stay still enough with a record breaking 13 toys!
I'm sure that bite me bone is exactly what she's thinking.
We have a few more days til the entry deadline, so I'll give it one more try and we'll see if we can get more than 13. I think I need to look for smaller objects to place on her, then maybe I can get a few more. :)
