Let’s lighten this up a bit!
My little man Jet, no quite a year old yet, loves his toys. He also loves to chew on his toys. It’s like a mission when he gets a new toy, how do I chew an appendage off as fast as possible. After throwing away several toys it was time to get a small sewing kit to try to repair the ones I could. Last week he presented me with a challenge, the new Squirrell has a major hole right by his tail. Now I could cut the tail off and make the job easier but that would be no fun for him. So I ordered upholstery thread, needles, and leather thimbles for the delicate surgery.
This photo is of Jet with his orange toy after a double leg and arm amputation. He doesn’t mind it’s still one of his favorite toys and usually goes to sleep with him at night.

This gave me a little chuckle and took me down memory lane. Our guys used to chew their toys open and pull all the stuffing out of them when they were younger. They actually continued to do it until just the last few years. Now our remaining pup is just too old to be bothered. He will occasionally chew on some of his toys that have ropes for arms and legs or lie with a stuffed animal, but that’s about it. Jet is adorable, and I’m sure he appreciates your ‘surgical’ skills.

So far he’s pleased and our toy expenses have gone down. Of course, I work pro-bono so that helps. I hope to see you around soon. I was thinking about you last week. :)
