Toys r dogs
A quick trip to the vet last week saw us bundling Lottie into the car (something else she's adapted to amazingly quickly) so we could weigh her using the vet clinic's scales which are designed for large dogs.Wandering around the vets while we waited for the scales, we were shocked to discover that Lottie had stealthily picked up a vivid green stuffed dinosaur from the shop shelves and was carrying it in her mouth.
Relieving her of the soft toy, we soon realised we'd already bought it, as it was covered in dog saliva. Lottie was also besotted with it.
$30 and a week later, it turns out that besotted doesn't even come close to covering it. Lottie is plain bonkers about her toy dinosaur and spends hours tossing it in the air, chasing it to grab it as it hits the floor.
Greyhound ballet
This form of greyhound ballet is hilarious. I do however feel sorry for the stuffed dinosaur. It originally had 5 squeakers and would squeak furiously when in Lottie's mouth, sending her into further raptures of unbridled doggy joy.Who knew that a small bundle of vivid green fur could transport a mature, stately 4 year old adult greyhound back to puppyhood so fast?
Dog goober and squeakers
It turns out that even though most greyhounds are too smart to play fetch and quickly get bored with retrieving balls and sticks (you can almost see Lottie thinking "why should I bring it back - you're just going to throw it again!"), she'll spend hour after hour playing with her stuffed green dinosaur.The stuffed green toy is now not so vivid thanks to Lottie's careful ministrations, and is now without 4 of its 5 original squeakers. Its bright green fur has been thoroughly slobbered over. This hasn't deterred Lottie one bit, she'll still spend ages throwing the poor green dinosaur into the air or chewing it in a bid to kill its last remaining squeaker.
