Here's a card game you can play with your DOG! 🐶 Spread out some cards from your deck of Grammatical Nonsense face-down. When your dog sniffs at (or touches) one, give him a treat and set that card aside. Keep going until you've got 10 or more cards. Now take those cards and make a poem with them! Here's one that Ozzy and I came up with 🤓🐶🚀 https://igg.me/at/playaway/x #/
