If you’re looking for a fun way to include your dog in your Easter festivities, why not make him his own basket? Tune in to your inner Easter Bunny and fill the basket with cute, Easter-themed items your dog will love.
- Your first step, of course, is finding an Easter basket. You can find one at your local craft store or look online. Better still, find an Easter basket that you can re-use for toys or other doggie supplies. The Rectangular Twisted Open Checkered Weave Basket is $22 and the perfect size for all of your dog’s Easter goodies and you can use it as a storage basket later.
