Puppies and Toys? Is This Normal?

yes this is normal, he may just luv the feeling of the plastic and tennis ball. but i would NOT let him chew the plastic container, especially since hes a small dog, he can tear off pieces and either choke on them, or swallow them and it can b very uncomfortable

1. toys in ancient times?

They probably did. It's highly unlikely that any of these have survived to this day, so archeologists cannot be sure. Furthermore, wooden swords used as toys might be confused with wooden swords used for practice by soldiers or gladiators. Ancient Roman toys were as wide and varied as Roman childrens' own imagination. Also, as is to be expected, many toys mimicked real-life grown up situations which the children would one day find themselves actually living; for example dolls for girls or wooden swords and horses for boys. The toys available would also depend from the child's own social rank in Roman society and time available. Children born into slavery may well find themselves working in the fields or helping in the household at a very early age. Common toys, games and passtimes would include: * Ball games: Pilae. There are frescoes of children playing ball in fact as well as adults playing some sort of hand ball, Greeks playing something that looks like hockey and so on. * Hoop and stick - Trochus * Wooden, wax or terracotta dolls * Wooden military apparel such as swords, shields and horses. * Marbles (actually played with nuts such as hazels) The game of marbles with dried nuts was so closely associated with childhood that they formed part of festivities such as marriage or becoming of age. * Board games such as Latrunculi or Reges, including the well known game of noughts-and-crosses (there's one scratched in a step at the Roman Forum) * Pets. Dogs are often shown as pets in both frescos and tomb stones of children. Other animals could also be pets, for example birds or farm animals such as ducks. Team games were also well known, possibly involving a ball or mock battles. For a little more about ancient Roman entertainment: ancient Roman entertainment and games.

2. tell me the story of how you got your dog.?

I was on March 1st this year. Months before that I have been begging for a new puppy, I read all the books, researched EVERYTHING and everday for ages I wrote a letter to my parents, gradually adding bits on. It became really long but I printed it off and left it in my mums room and then went to school. She read it but did not say anything about it, so I got the impression it did not work. She then started asking me what I wanted for my birthday (which was March 3rd), and giving me ideas like a new laptop, or a new phone, there was no point in arguing with her about it so I agreed for a new phone. Then that night on March 1st, I was called downstairs for my "dinner", and my mum was cradling the most gorgeous labrador puppy I have ever seen. He was the runt of the litter so he was TINY! The rest of my family came over, with toys and a dog bed ect. I was so happy. He is called Ollie and he is still small compared to your average labrador but I adore him and would not change him for the world

3. How to get ready to keep a cat?

I am posting a link on introducing a new kitten into your home. Most of the same information applies to a cat. You need to understand that cats get into and onto everything, and kittens just do it faster. So you want to child proof your home. In the link, there is a list of things to get. I ignore a bed, as they find a place, and those inexpensive cardboard scratchers are universally liked. Your new cat may be scared in a new home, and may hide for a few days. That is common. It is important to keep with the same litter and food as the cat is already using. Any changes in food need to be done gradually, and realizing that your cat is the decider. Only their opinion matters, since if they do not agree, they wo not eat. Toys can be really simple, even wads of paper, and cats love cardboard boxes to jump in and out of.
