Dear Bloggersphere;
Does anybody else make efforts mend the favourite toys of their dog(s) to prolong their lifespans (the lifespan of the toys, that is, not that of the dogs)? Or is it just me?
Sincerely,
The Girl That Cannot Sew Particularly Well, But Spent The Last Twenty Minutes With Needle And Thread Gamely Attempting To Salvage A Well-Beloved Cuddly Duck, Lest Her Much Loved Dog Pine For It.
PS: In case you are interested, I succeeded. Despite the great tear across its' stomach and another down the back, along with my lack of skill with t'needle, the duck lives to quack another day.
Go me.
Are you kidding? My girls destroy their toys ten minutes after we bring them home. There is no mending them - on any level. The only "toys" that last are those huge, rock hard bones.
ReplyDeleteI think it's sweet that you saved Bingo's toy.
Well, it's only his very most favourites: the pig, the panda and the duck. Everything else has to fend for itself (and very sad and sorry the lot of them are).
ReplyDeleteAs a puppy he destroyed everything within seconds (bar his super strong rubber bone and his rubber pulley-rings), but then one day I brought a pig home for his second birthday. He looked at it in awe and decided to treat it with great reverence. And so the tradition of him chewing his cuddly toys determinedly but carefully - rather than shredding with joyous abandon until there is nothing left - and us getting out the sewing box every now and again - when he gets overexcited and accidentally rips them open - was born.

It's just one of those little quirks that make up the tapestry of Collison Family Life.
