We have 3 springers, who are alternative grandchildren, natch!
This year, for the very first time, they have more than giblets to share (the dogs, not the grandchildren, oh dear)
We have bought them a talking babble ball (the dogs). We tried it out in bed this morning (not as smutty as it sounds) and it was a great success. We had our dogs' attention!
We think there may be great merit in making interchangeable toys for grandchildren and pets as they need to be
Indestructible
Loud
Chewable
Safe
Cuddly
and last but not least....fun!

Am I alone in this world thinking this?

My Maximum Dog was given a squeaky toy as a Christmas present (not by me) every year. It took him about 20 seconds partially to dismember it and destroy the squeaker – oh blessed relief. But it did improve his vocabulary as he learned phrases such as "Where's your Santa?" and "Where's your reindeer".

Thanks for the idea, Mrs Pickle. I have ordered a Babble Ball for DD2's dog. He and the DGCs will have great fun with it!

Two years ago, the kittens had a wonderful time sharing the marbles from the boys' marble run. The more intelligent of the two worked out that a marble would roll further and faster on the laminate floor than on the rug, so carefully carried it over and chased it until it went under the sofa.
