This toys came in from New Hampshire recently, and the whole box look like fake roadkill.

Happy Chewing. Alex

cool hand Luke gets a new friend

I met Luke yesterday. But I spied his chewed toy first, and said to his companion Chris, do you have a dog? Then I saw Luke with his beautiful eyes and spots. I made them an offer to trade his chewed toy, which looked just like roadkill, for a new foxy. Luke went for it, and did not even wait for the tag to come off to get going on the squeaky toy. Chomp, chomp!
