Updating the Toy Inventory

It's been a couple of months since I did my toy inventory, so it was pretty out of date. Mom and I decided that it was time to do a new inventory. I was a little tired, so I napped during the first part. Mom could handle some of this without me.

Bedroom
We've got a ton of toys in the bedroom now. Mom even put a toy box in there to try to contain them. (I don't ever leave the toys in the box, though.) So here's the first picture of toys from the bedroom. There are 9 toys in the first picture.


And here's the second picture... 14 toys


And the third picture (told you there were more toys in there!)... 5 toys


Did you notice that reindeer in there, pretending to be a squirrel? Well, Mom found him under the bed after she took those other pictures, so she decided to make him a squirrel for now. Crazy woman.

And here's the fourth picture of toys from the bedroom...


OK, so those aren't toys. They are, however, a wonderful example of just how well-trained I've got my Mom. I've got a rawhide...a filled rawhide stick...and a bully stick...all at the SAME TIME. I can just take my pick of what I want to chew on. Aaahhhh...it's the good life.

So that's a total of 28 toys in the bedroom now.

Office
Here are the toys in the office:


That's easy to count...3!

Bathroom
I've started to accumulate more toys in there. I take 'em in to play with while Mom's in the shower. (It's my job to hold down the bath mat when she's in the tub.)


Two frogs and two ducks...4 toys in the bathroom!

Hallway
Looks like we ended up with more toys in the hallway than last time, too. There are 8 of them there now.


Dining Room
This is sorta between the hallway and the living room, so toys wind up here all the time.


7 toys in the dining room.

Living room
This is the point in the new inventory when I decided to get up from my nap and supervise the process. We had to take several pictures to get all of the toys in the living room inventoried.

Picture 1: 17 toys


Picture 2: 9 toys


Picture 3: 9 toys


Picture 4: 11 toys, 1 cute doggie


Picture 5: 11 toys


That's a total of 57 toys in the living room!

Fire Hydrant
Technically, the fire hydrant is in the living room, but Mom and I decided to tally these separately. Before we could inventory the toys, though, we had to get them out of the hydrant. I helped.


"Get out here, toys, so we can count you!"


And these are the toys that were hiding in the fire hydrant... 15 of 'em.


So that's all of the toys. While Mom tallied 'em up, I inspected the pile in the living room.


She sure took a long time to add them. I was forced to nap again.


"Are you done YET?!"


The Final Count
In January when I did my first inventory, I had 68 toys. That wasn't nearly enough. If Mom added all of our numbers right this time, though, I've now got...122 toys. Woo hoo!!! I had no idea that I had that many now. That means I've gotten 54 NEW toys just since January.

Am I getting spoiled by my new Mom?! Nooooo... He he he.

After all of that inventory work, I think I need to take another nap.

  1. Like you said on my blog today, you get a *little* carried away with your toys. Just a little.

    You're a lucky doggie, Buttons. Oh, mama loves that you hold down the bath mat while your mom takes a shower. You're just the cutest!

  5. I just know there's a pet shelter in your area that would like to have even a small portion of your 122 toys. The dogs and kitties there would sure appreciate playing with them.

  9. I has some werds for "anonymous". Does you know that many of Buttons toys were wonned in contests wot raised money for shelters? Does you knows that most shelters will not gib animals toys because they is unsanitary and can spread deadly cooties? Does you know that if'n animals in shelters get toys they never last for more than a day coz they get full of pee and poo? If'n you want shelter animals to has toys, go adopt one, bring her home and gib her all the toys her little heart desires like Buttons' mom did.

  10. I agree with Shawnee. I'd like to think Anonymous had the best intentions with his/her comment, but I also have a PILE of toys that I won and I LOVE them...because I won them! I don't think it's fair to make Buttons feel guilty for being happy (finally). And like Shawnee said, no responsible shelter could take Buttons' donated toys anyway because of the potential germ-factor. (Not saying you're germy, Buttons.)
