Duffy's wonderful toy

As many you know, Duffy is blind and wonderful. He loves to play with small
toys, but doesn't toss them around as much as Holly does because he can't
see where it is going. He does like to toss and bounce little toys that
make some noise; he can easily continue to poune on them. Well, yesterday
he spent several minute joyfully playing with this wonderful new toy -- a
leaf that I had apparently brought in on my shoes. It was dried-up and
brittle, and it made a "rattling" sound on the vinyl as Duffy knocked it
around. He had a delightful time with it (and I had a delightful time
watching him).

Persia *adores* those crinkly mylar balls. I had to buy the BIG ones
because she would bat the small ones under the sofa or the bookcase. I
think those big ones would be great for Duffy! Easy to follow the crinkly
leaf sound and chase

Hugs and purrs,

Jill

Oh, yes, he loves them. I think I'll follow Jill's advice and get some of
the larger ones, too.

I do so admire how animals manage to overcome their disabilities - they
truly are an inspiration to me. Thanks for the story.
Best wishes,

How good of you to bring in a toy! The other day, I accidentally let
in a moth while bringing in groceries. That sure caused some
excitement here.

I'm still finding the small ones in the oddest places. I have to say I'm
terrified to move the sofa
