When my Mother visited me a couple of weeks ago after Lisl arrived she commented that she though I had a child in my home since there were toys strung out all over everywhere in the house.

I suggest that you keep her busy throughout the day using the toys to play with her rather than rely on the toys to do that for you.

Play with your dog, talk to your dog, and develop a relationship with your dog.

My appologies if you are doing that.
