Have some FUN with your Furry Friend! This pattern was created so I could make a fun toy for my furry girls, Ginger and Pepper. The toy holds a water bottle in the middle, for fun crinkling sounds as your pet squeezes it and jumps on it. Thick loop handle for you to hold on to and play tug while your pet grabs the dangling knotted braid on the other end. Plus, you can use the handle to toss the toy and have your pet retrieve it for you. Lots of fun times with this cute toy!! See my happy girl in the last photo… this is Ginger, smiling and wagging her tail like mad because she has a new toy!
