Last night I was in a chewing mood, and I started chewing on one of my new balls. There’s something about those balls – I just love the smell of them. I was chewing away, having a good time when my person looked over at what I was doing. She noticed that about half my ball was missing. Gone! Vamoose!
Yeah? So? I’m having fun chewing it up person.
You know what she did? You know what my person did!? She took that ball away from me and she threw it in the garbage. In the garbage, mind you. That was a perfectly good half ball and I still had a lot of chewing to do.
I’ll fix her. My person’s not going to stop me that easily. I found the bag with the rest of the balls in it. They’re my balls after all. It wasn’t easy, but I got one out of there.
And I chewed that one up too.

Thanks for commenting Marinakanavaki. My person hid the other balls. I don’t know when she’s going to let me chew them up.

Laddie is horrified!!!! Half a ball? Oh my!!! LOL… lucky for your person you will play with a new ball. Lad will not give up his old ball no matter what…. it gets ugly if I try to give him a new ball… LOL

Chuck and the Collies, I usually have several balls hanging out in various places. When I’m not chewing them up I’m giving them to my person so she’ll toss them for me.

I chew up all of my toys. That’s what they’re for, right?

Lola, the best thing to do with toys is chew them up. And it’s our people’s job to get us more.

OMG, Bongo! Be careful! If you eat too many balls or other naughty things, your person may have to “induce vomiting”! Trust me, I’ve been there and it is gnarly!
Love & licks,

Bongo you and Riva would get along so well, she has already destuffed and chewed up at least half of the Christmas presents, even the ones that aren’t hers, nothing is sacred where she is concerned 😉
But be careful about ingesting to much of that non-food stuff, it can turn on you!
Bongo
January 3, 2012 at 8:41 pm
Misty Shores, I think I like Riva a lot. My person keeps telling me about eating that non-food stuff too. That’s why she throws it in the garbage. Darn!

You would fit in well at our house, Bongo. Wonderbutt chews balls, too. But only the ones he can reach after Mrs. P.I.B. bats them all under the furniture.
Bongo
January 3, 2012 at 8:43 pm
Wonderbutt is my hero. When I lose balls under the furniture I usually have to depend on my person to get them out. Sometime they stay there for a long time.

Vanilla Bean, definitely don’t chew your ball up in front of your people. They’ll take it away from you.

Chewing things is one thing, Bongo. I hope you won’t eat them and become ill.

Sweet Kitten, I never think about that sick thing until it’s too late. I guess it’s good that my person does.

Never underestimate the determination of a dog denied his rightful toys. Bongo, you person should be happy…you didn’t go after someone else’s toy! Good luck with Occupy Kitchen.

Karen, I had to give up on Occupy Kitchen. There’s no soft carpet to lie down on. I changed it to Occupy Living Room.
