Hi, just found your blog…fun reading! I think I had that same exact octopus when I was younger.

Thanks, Larissa! I would have loved to have a stuffed octopus! My parents deprived me with a regular old teddy bear.

Rufus loved stuffed toys...back when he was allowed to have them. He manages to open a seam and systematically rip out the stuffing and line it up in a pretty little row in under 10 seconds!

Good luck with your boy-doggie surgery Ted!

Yes, I saw the pictures! Ted came through just fine, although he was completely out of it when he got home.

I love how Bear has his nose injured already... oh dear.

Max has "Liony", who he still adores - even after ten years! Rusty though, has no toys. He has eaten them all.

Oh, wow. I doubt Bear will last ten years!

The day we threw away Ben's first frog was a sad day indeed.

You know Ted was spending that month with Octopus perfecting his eye-gouging technique. Now that he's mastered it, no toy's eyeballs will be safe.

Did you end up replacing the frog with others? Mm, I think you're right about the technique, though.

AS's parents favorite toy is a giraffe that is practically in shreds. Every time Mama AS tries to throw the toy away, the dogs rescue it from the trash, and now she doesn't have the heart to deprive them of it!

That is too funny. They can sense the absence!

I couldn't bear the thought of throwing away his favorite toy, Pink Piggy, when Henry ripped poor PP apart at the seam. Internal organs (stuffing) were spilling out from his maimed thorax. It was tragic. I have a button I've been meaning to sew back onto a sweater for, oh, A YEAR sitting on my dresser, but I PP was stiched up and back in working order the very same day.

Pink Piggy sounds so cute! I love pigs. Isn't it funny how the humans get attached to the toys, too?

I'm sure Gus will be very jealous of Ted's stuffed toys. They've become a big fat no at our house. Due to the fact that Gus tears them apart in 3.2 seconds - especially if they have a squeaker to be destroyed. We just can't afford to keep up his habit.

And we actually do keep spare dog toys in the buffet.

You do?! Now I don't feel quite so random. We are completely anti-squeaky-toys. Well, I am, anyway, therefore our whole house is. Ted always eyes them longingly at the pet store.
