How do you play with your pets?

Do you have any special games you play with your pets? We've got the "mousing" game with one of the cats, he gets on the bed, and I move my feet under the blanket - he goes crazy trying to catch the "undercover mouse."

My dog Sparky,my husband and myself all play together with blankets. he loves to be wrapped up and then we run from him and wait for him to come get us. It is so funny. We always play with the cats with string and watch them run around like crazy after it.

We play with the string as well, our cats love it. They'll chase it, jump up in the air after it (pretty high, too), and bump into each other in the process. It is hilarious!

My two dogs now like to do different things. One is a real toy dog and she loves to play with tug a war. In the bed, she likes to climb on top of me and play peekaboo. The other one likes to play 'rub my tummy'. lol

My brother runs around in circles in the family room around the couch...like really fast and the dog starts to chase him...then he'll randomly jump on the couch and she'll keep running in circles or he'll run in the circle that goes around the stairs like from the living room to dining room to the foyer...just in a big circle then he'll do that a few times then sit on the stairs and she won't notice and she'll keep barking and running lol.

Oh, that's got to be hilarious!! The doggie is not paying attention... You need to try to get this on video, this would be an instant YouTube hit. Or perhaps you could send it to America's Funny Videos and win some money!

We often just lay in the middle of the floor and they pile on top of us, jumping on us, kissing us its fun. Sugar loves catch or tug of war,
Boom and baby girl like to play with dolls like they are puppies.
And a few like shadow and badger like keep away!

I would invest a little time playing with toy mouses or other stuffed, mini-toys. This would always bring a smile to both our faces

My shepherds favorite thing to do is you throw dirt up in the air and he jumps just like a fish coming out of the water and he barks at the dirt while he bites it. If no one is out there to play with him he kicks the dirt with his front paw and turns around to bark at it. I posted a picture of him doing this in the picture section.

I have a cat play ground inside and we play with them all the time. It is sort of like a tent for cats with toys that hang down from the top. They seem to love it. Well the younger 2 do. Their mama does not think to much about it.
