Hi, my name is Amanda and I’m the kind of person that stays home on a Friday night and makes DIY dog toys.
You’re okay with that, right?
I’m also already contemplating Halloween costumes for all my dogs. Their Halloween picture from last year is still one of my favorites I’ve ever taken and this year’s needs to be even better. I’m thinking about a theme this year. Any ideas?
The easiest toy you can make! Find a couple shirts (or just 1 if you want it to be all one color) that you don’t wear anymore. Cut 2 wide strips (I’d say 8 to 10 inches – large enough to wrap around the tennis ball) and place the tennis ball in the center of both strips. Wrap them around the ball and secure with a thin piece from one of the shirts.
Once the ball is secure, you can leave it as is or cut the strips into 3 small strips and braid them.
My husky is the worst about destroying tennis balls (and all other toys!) so I’m hoping having a ball inside this t-shirt toy will keep that from happening. Plus, I’ve made t-shirt toys before for her and they are pretty indestructible. Much better than most toys you find at the store.

I make a similar toy for my much smaller dog :) I’m the sort of crazy cat AND dog lady who makes toys on a Friday night too :) #client
