Oh the Love for my kids....

And yes... I do mean Astro and Bouboule. I have a couple funny stories for this humid rainy day... First off.. for some that have puppies can probably relate to this.. but sometimes I feel Astro is definitely one of a kind! So story one begins like this... A couple weeks ago.. Mike had duty; Me and the dogs usually have a pretty chill 24hrs by ourselves when daddy is away... we eat... we walk.. we nap...we walk again... we sunbath on the patio... eat ... nap, and watch tv..{its all a big cycle really} and do an occasionally throw the toy down the hallway to see who gets it first {usually Astro}. At this point Bouboule.. puts up a fight... he may not have been the first one to get the squeeky toy, but by all means hes going to run beside ya, and try to steal it out of your mouth. Its a back and fourth process... they love it though. So this is where the "I can relate" part kicks in... For all of you dog owners out there.. we all know, no matter what size dog you have.. the stuffed animal squeeky toys, just do NOT last as long as the rubber ones. But for some reason, those are the ones they like the best.. and Ive been known to put a few hand stitches in some torn seams now. I mean really.. this is 2009..the economy is is crap.. desperate times call for desperate measures right? So yes... I have broke out the needle n thread to sew up a few dog toys in my time. Housewives unite!! Well this particualar toy... and I would post a picture but I have already thrown it away, and this was a couple of weeks ago. Anyhow... it was a tiger striped stuffed ball. It had been with us since Germany.. so its got some miles on it. Well it had a squeeker in it.. and for those who DONT know what those lil squeekers look like.. let me show you.. There she is... Well... this lil thing.. was on the break of sliding out of the seams on this toy.. and I SWEAR... its like Astros "Mission" to get each and everyone of these things OUT of ALL the toys in his Toy box. True story. Well.. I thought to myself.. see if he still plays with the toy.. if I take that lil thing out... negative. He nor Bouboule could care less about the toy now.. it was no longer a challenge. HAHA... Well..this is the result of me taking the squeeker out.. and teasing Astro. This is one thing that drives him nuts.. and he suuuuure puts up a fight to give it back.. once hes got a hold of it in his mouth... that video to be posted later.. haha **Watch his plea of barks.. and moans n groans.. and his charming tail wagging.. just for me to give him that dang squeeker.. and of course Bouboule cant stand it either.. so he demands justice with all of his barks too....oooooh man.. its so funny.

Just so you know-my dogs try to chew those things out too. They really don't do it as much now as they use to. It might be because of where I am buying the toys, ie: not from Wal Mart. It is funny though. They are probably mad at mommy for not putting the squeaker back into the toy before you sewed it up.

Dude, Libby is the SAME way!! Did I not tell you that I played this at home, on my laptop, on my lap, and Libby heard the squeaker! She thought I had a toy, and the more it went on, she went crazier and crazier. She was digging in my legs and arms and back and under the computer trying to find the squeaker. She would get close the speakers and then get so confused at where the squeaker was!! It was so funny and a new favorite game now.
