My little old dog (who needs a groomer) has zero interest in toys, balls or anything else traditionally doggy. But she likes to ‘look after’ something random.
She’s been caring for this tomato for 3 days https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏼‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging (medium light skin tone)">
She’ll never try to eat it & I’ll take it away before it squishes, but https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Two hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Two hearts">

Day 6 - same tomato.
She’s carefully carried it everywhere with her, gently placing it down while she sleeps.
I’ll have to swap it for something else tomorrow before it squishes, or she might think she’s killed it! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😱" title="Face screaming in fear" aria-label="Emoji: Face screaming in fear">
(she has ‘toys’, she’s just not interested in them https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏼‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging (medium light skin tone)">) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Two hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Two hearts">

MY tomato!
