Hoarders – Dog edition

The other day, it dawned on me, I have a serious problem… I’m hoarding dog toys (and craft supplies, but that’s another story).

This is seriously only the tip of the iceberg

This is seriously only the tip of the iceberg

I experience the same visceral excitement from squeakers as my two dogs, seriously. HomeSense has a great section of dog toys which range from $3-$10 – considerably cheaper than any pet shop i’ve ever been to.  I HAVE to test all the squeakers until I find the perfect one. I examine their texture, softness and test the squeaker for it’s tone and amount of pressure required to create noise. If you happen to be wandering the aisles of HomeSense in Ottawa, looking for the perfect vase or accent chair and hear a choir of squeak toys… you guessed it, probably this girl.

With an extensive collection building, it was crucial to get container to display my findings.

Cute, no? They have a ton of these at HomeSense, for $30-$40.

Problem is, as soon as I put them away – this happens…

It’s not a perfect solution, but a decent temporary one. Do you share the same obsession? Or maybe you hoard shoes (every girl reading this just said “yes! that’s me!”)? Would love to hear your stories… remember you are not alone!
