"I like getting brushed. It makes me feel pretty, and once a month I get a treat they call Heartguard when I'm being brushed. Cool!"   Molly May I have one main toy box which is a footstool (hollow for the toys) in our living room. And I make only a few toys available at a time so that it seems to our Cairns that the toys are somewhat new. If I were to let them have access to all the toys all the time, they would quickly get bored with them and never play with any of them.

I also have specific toys for specific areas like toys they play with outside. They have a small weather resistant toy box on the back deck. And a small enclosed plastic container in our family mini van. These toys stay in their respective areas.

Our Cairn Terriers are permitted to choose one toy to take into their crates at night (non-squeaker toys of course). They have grown so accustomed to doing this that as soon as they come inside from their last elimination for the day, they go over and choose their toy before heading to the bedroom. Molly generally chooses a large bone. Jack chooses a safe for the crate chew toy or plush toy.
