The Momma Loves Gringo

The momma and I have this mental telepathy going on….she’s away at a meeting. She’s having a great time seeing her old friends and hanging out some with Sam. Here are a few photos of me playing at the dog park a couple of weeks ago. Sam took these photos. Aren’t I cute or what?

Here’s a little puppy I can pick on……

Whoa! She’s bigger than I thought!

Submit and respect my authority!

Oh…you’re gonna get it now!

Hey! Two against one! No fair!

People let me tell you about my best friend. He’s my one toy, cuddly toy, my up my down my pride and joy…he’s my best friend….the rip ‘em cow torso! (what you see below sans head and limbs).

Now let’s have some fun!

1. Healthy for humans, deadly for dogs - We’re so happy that this is number one. We hope that it has prevented many accidental poisonings. A worthwhile read because some of the foods are surprising…and commonly within reach of many dogs.
2. 13 cribbage boards from the momma’s collection
3. CPAP, CPAP run - about sleep apnea

Topping the charts at numeros uno, dos, y tres:

Rip ‘Em Tiger and Cow. The legs and head are attached to a soft squeaky body with velcro. I love the sound of the limbs and head being ripped from the body. I also enjoy mouthing the body to make it squeak. This is one of the rare toys that I play with often without destroying it.

Hide-A-Squirrel. This is another plush toy. It consists of a stump with 3 holes. Three squirrels hide inside the stump and I either fish them out with my pointy snoot, or I just shake them out. It’s a blast!

Tug-a-Jug. This is a sweet one. The momma puts kibble inside of this bullet-proof plastic jug. I can smell the food through the tiny, salt shaker holes in the bottom of the jug…but I have to get the food out of the top end. Quite a puzzle for my little whippet brain! There’s a rope dangling from the top end so I can grab it and sling it around. When I toss it onto the wood floor, it makes really loud noise that makes the cats jump and run! Hilarious!
