This was supposed to perform some sort of miraculous tooth and gum stimulation when the dog chewed it. However, the dog has never actually chewed this or otherwise played with it. Ever. Yet for some reason he can be relied upon to take it out of his toy basket and place it on my bedroom floor directly in the path to the bathroom absolutely every time I put it away. Notice the landmine-like configuration, perfectly designed for maximum foot-mangling when you step on this in the dark at 2:56 AM.
It doesn’t make noise, but it causes plenty in the form of shrieking, stumbling and a few sleepily mumbled swear words.
So maybe that’s how the dog derives entertainment from it?

Ha-ha, you are such a clever writer. Hope your tootsies are okay. Not nearly as bad as hubby's boat sized tennis shoes on the road to destruction, eer bathroom.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I have several toys the girls do that with. Maybe if you smear it in bacon grease the dog will notice :D

ReplyDeleteWell...better to step on the dog toy than a pile of, well...let's just say the dog toy might not be the worst thing you might encounter!

Lisa, you are definitely right on that one!! Guess I shouldn't complain, because he's one of those dogs that housebroke quickly and has never had an accident in the house. Next time I step on Virus Model, I will think of your comment and remember how lucky I am--thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHee hee, Nance, guess that about sums it up!
