The Momma Loves Gringo

The ten most popular posts this year:

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
4. My top three dog toys - the most fun ever!
5. The Audiocity of it All! - a list of free audio applications for the Mac
6. NBC Heroes/USA The 4400 - the comments relayed both good and bad news
7. My 11 favorite activities…doggie style - you wouldn’t believe the search terms that led to this post!
8. Tapetum Lucidum - eye shine
9. Feelin’ Groovy - me in agility class…you may as well bypass this if you watched the video in number 7 above.
10. The momma’s 13 favorite computer games

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!
