Mr. Fishy Fish
Harriet was so very good with her stuffed fish.

Her ears were back and she was growling and making snarly noises in her throat. By way of an update: Mr. Fishy Fish has been gutted. He is nothing but an empty pelt, now. A couple of times each day, Harriet picks him up, shakes him ferociously, and drops him back onto the floor. Just in case he is actually a zombie fish, I guess she wants to make sure he's well and truly dead. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

Just in case he is actually a zombie fish, I guess she wants to make sure he's well and truly dead. We, too, have a new fishy-shaped soft toy. I purchased it with some skepticism, as no soft toys with squeakers have survived more than about two minutes at the Zoo since Sam was a pup. Of course, with Sam gone, the squeaker-destruction imperative has been demoted to a squeaker-destruction suggestion. OUR Fishy-Fish is a girl-fish. She must be, she has eggs. (That's the conceit of this toy -- the squeakers are in individual "eggs" that can be removed from the toy without de-stuffing the thing.) As I said, I was skeptical. But MsFish has survived a month without serious damage! Two of her three squeaker-eggs are no longer viable squeakers, but they're still eggs. Ranger thinks the eggs are fun to fetch (and they aren't as hard on the house, or his teeth, as tennis balls). Even Lindy likes to carry MsFish around. And MsFish came with three "extra" eggs, should the original batch get lost or destroyed. I may get the hedgehog next time I'm at the store. Or maybe the chicken. |

Of course, with Sam gone, the squeaker-destruction imperative has been demoted to a squeaker-destruction suggestion. A similar thing has happened at my house, too. With only one dog, there is much less toy destruction, period. They used to play tug with any toy that was big enough for both of them to get their mouths on. Harriet *will* destroy toys on her own, but it takes her longer, and she does not seem to be quite as motivated to killkillkill as she used to be. Part of that may be age, too. She's very nearly turned into a grown up dog. And MsFish came with three "extra" eggs, should the original batch get lost or destroyed. What a clever idea! I may get the hedgehog next time I'm at the store. Or maybe the chicken. Speaking of durable toys, Big Bad Cuz is still "con pies"! She chews on his feets occasionally, but so far, they've stood up to the abuse very well. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

My daughter and her BC, Scully have this whole routine. DD points index finger at Scully and yells "Bang" Scully drops to the floor and lays there, grinning expectantly and thumping her tail... She knows this game. DD "I shot you, so play dead!" Scully puts her head down but her eyes are still open and she's still wagging DD "Uh uh. Deader than that." Scully rolls onto her back, contorts herself into an "S" shape and closes her eyes DD "Now that's one dead dog. But wait... What's this?! OMIGOD!! ZOMBIE DOG!!! Scully leaps to her feet, growling ferociously and bouncing around, looking for something she can grab and shake (woe be unto random socks left on the floor) |
