Today dad suggested building an adventure playground for Toffee.
So I started emptying cardboard boxes, cutting and sticking bits together.
I hung a threaded paper curtain underneath a small chair, where Toffee would go through, making a tunnel.
He would come out under my little table covered with a cloth. Inside there's a string attached to the top with a newspaper ball hanging on it so Toffee can hit it.
After that he would go through a box and then over a bridge (a box lid) ; ending up in a "swimming pool" with little bouncy balls in it!
At the beginning Toffee didn't like the idea of going through the tunnels, but when I put a trail of nibblets inside for him to follow, and a plate with some tuna paste at the end of the trail as a "treasure", he didn't hesitate going in!

Well, first of all, that was a great suggestion to make an adventure trail.
We are impressed Miriam that you are developing skills and techniques to become an animal trainer That's great! A very good idea to use food as motivation. Tristan and I would like someone to make us an adventure trail with chocolates and lollies! We would even jump through hoops, but not the fiery kind as they do in the circus.
We are wondering if Toffee is still enjoying the adventure playground. Just as well he's exercising while munching on all the extra treats!
A big hi to Toffee and everyone from Tristan and Janece.
