[Dailydrool] Dailydrool Digest, Vol 561, Issue 4

[Suzie Shell]

Dear Snoopy,
    
     Tears of joy are streaming down my cheeks at the moment knowing you
have again found your love for the squeaker.  We have had buppies who love
them and those that won't touch them but there is nothing better than seeing
a toy being flipped through the air, fluffy cotton snow spread all over the
floor and that most obnoxious squeaky sound.  We lost our boy in June and
the house was quiet for two months before we were rescued by Bitsy who
brought the beautiful music back to our ears.  Keep playing with Chomper.

Drool to you,
 Suzie and Bitsy

Hi all, Dale here????
So ..... toys.? Snoopy has always loved a good squeaky toy.? He is a very
bossy dog though and he has never, ever allowed any other dog to play with
toys in his presence.? Except Thor (a long ago foster .... Thor could run
like the wind and he'd grab a toy in order to get Snoopy to play chase with
him).? LuLu had been feral and couldn't care less about toys.? Gracie liked
toys but she was afraid of angering Snoopy ..... she would cuddle a toy but
was very careful never to squeak one so Snoopy didn't get upset.? As many of
you remember, LuLu died over a year ago and Gracie left us last summer.?
After Gracie's passing Snoopy went into a decline, went off his kibble and
we thought we were loosing him.? We got him to eat using a crock pot and
home cooked meals ...... but toys were a thing of the past.
At Hanukkah we tried ...... I bought 8 toys and Snoopy was supposed to
receive one each night.? I was traveling on business for most of the holiday
..... Greg reported that Snoopy didn't seem to want or care about the toys.?
When I got home I tried to give him one, a really good squeaky one .... he
took it out of my hand, dropped it on the floor, and walked away.? Never
even squeaked it once.? So.........
Chomper LOVES toys.? And Snoopy loves Chomper.? So ...... Snoopy lets
Chomper play with toys.? And, believe me, Snoopy has a toy bin FULL of
nearly new toys ....... I bet he has at least 40 , and that is AFTER I
donated bags and bags full of nearly new toys to half a dozen local
shelters.? Chomper will pull out 10 or 15 at a time and just go crazy,
flinging them in the air ...... playing chase, squeaking them ...... Snoopy
mostly watches but sometimes he will grab one too ..... he even fetches
again!!? Now my poor gimpy old man limps and hobbles and falls over and
bunny hops but that doesn't stop him charging off after his toy and bringing
it back to me squeaking up a storm.? Chomper found that really good squeaky
toy (it's a carrot that says "I don't carrot all") and it's his favorite.? ?
So ..... last night ..... I was digging in the back of the hall closet and I
found a basset gift bag.? Inside were two brand new, very fancy dog toys
with the tags still attached.? Obviously Greg gave up / got depressed
handing Snoopy a "present" only to have Snoopy drop it and walk off (or
never accept it) and just put the toys in the back of the closet while I was
in London.? So ..... I pulled them out, cut off the tags, and asked the two
dogs to select a toy.? Happily they each chose a different one (honestly I
think Snoopy was just going to let Chomper have whichever one he wanted and
take the other).? Chomper was in HEAVEN ...... this is the first toy which
is truly HIS, he "chomped" it first.? It's a duck and it crinkles and it
squeaks and its got different textures on it and he was over the moon.?
Snoopy got a long squeaky dog and he joyfully pranced and squeaked and
brought it to me a few times to throw and made a big show of running after
it (3 feet) and bringing it back to  me with a flourish.? It was Christmas
in January these two dogs both played hard for about 20 minutes with their
presents.
So much happiness.? It's been a while since Snoopy had this much fun.? It's
been quite a while since we had a dog party in our house like we had last
night.? Wow that was really, really good.
