Junee approaches beach towels (and any other towel) the way Marlo Stanfield approaches police or the way “Catfish” guests approach honesty. Towels are an automatic “opp” to her, and she wants nothing to do with them. (You can pretty much guess how rainy days go with this dog.)
ADVERTISEMENT ~ Amazon
As an Amazon affiliate, I earn a percentage from purchases with my referral links. I know some consumers are choosing to boycott Amazon for its DEI removal. However, after thinking about this thoroughly, I choose to continue promoting intriguing products from small businesses, women-owned businesses and (specifically) Black-owned businesses who still feature their items on Amazon. All five of my Substack publications now include a MINIMUM of one product sold by a Black-owned business. (I have visited the seller’s official site, not just the Amazon Black-owned logo, to verify this.) If you still choose to boycott, I 100% respect that decision.
So, when I saw this TikTok video, I thought, “This is going to go so bad.” However, I’d already slacked off on doing the last two Dog Aging Projects with boxes, treats and a timer. (I always do the measurements and questionnaires though. I don’t have to pull out measuring tape for those.)

But this TikTok video was my chance to redeem myself. So, I tried Honey the Boxer’s game, and now I’m wondering why in the world have I been buying dog toys and dog puzzles all this time. When she was done with this, she was ready for Round 2.
This lime green baton is still her favorite toy, no matter what. She has two of these and loves to strut around with them or slap them around from end to end.
Shamontiel is a dog lover to her core: 632 completed walks with 101 dogs, eight dog-housesittings and six dog boardings at the time of this publication.
