I feel like we don't credit Mommy enough. We are constantly telling everybody about the wonderful treats Daddy brings us but we forget that Mommy buys us the best toys! She was in California for over a week. And even though she was far away, she ordered us toys so that they would arrive while she was gone. Our package contained two things: A rooster and a platypus.
The rooster reminds me of my favorite holiday toy, the dreidel. Like the dreidel it makes lots of loud noises and annoys just about everybody. The rooster, who we call Chicken, is basically a sling shot. And when you sling the chicken by his head, it makes rooster sounds. I love this toy so much that I carry it during our walks. Mommy always hoped that I would be the type of dog that carried his toys around while walking and I am pretty certain that I have made her dreams come true.

Once I carry the Chicken to the park, I spend most of our park time swinging it around and beating him up. The bad thing about the Chicken is that we are not allowed to play with it in the house. It's pretty loud and I guess they don't want the neighbors to know how cool our new toy is.
The platypus is cool because the purpose of it is to dig out the platypus eggs (they squeak!!) from his belly. All of my toys end up being de-stuffed because I want to get to the squeaker. Mommy must have known how much I enjoy doing this because she bought me a toy where you are actually supposed to dig out the insides! Pretty awesome.
Once I get the platypus egg, I carry it around the house to show everybody what I have accomplished.

Jealous of my new toys? Mommy said they are available on Amazon.. wherever that is.
