Everywhere you look, you can see pumpkin spice! We hoomans love it, but what about the fur babies? Wouldn’t they like to have some pumpkin spice too? Crochet a mug of pumpkin space latte for your dog as a special treat.

Please be aware that all dogs are different; some will eat a toy within a day. Bruno will chew on a toy for about 3-4 months before it’s ready for the trash. Regardless of how long it takes them to finish the toy, cotton yarn and cotton stuffing are best because they can be digested by the dog.

For a larger dog, use a double strand of cotton yarn and a size J hook to make a larger toy. For a cat toy, eliminate the squeaker and add catnip and some bells.
