There it goes! I kept it around longer than I really wanted to, but I was running short on squeaky toys so what could I do? It was dirty, stinky, and yucky – even more than I want to put up with – but I kept it. I made it last. I even stashed it for awhile so I didn’t have to think about it. Because it just didn’t have that zip anymore. That bright, shiny, sunshine cheer that I loved to squeeze until the squeaks came out.
But guess what sunshine? I don’t need you anymore. I’ve got more toys with squeakers now, and you know what? I’m going to reach right inside of you and yank your little squeaker right out. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time and now I’m good and ready. You won’t even have time to think about the pain, ‘cause here I go.
Riiiiiiiiip! Out comes your stuffing.
Let’s see how clean I can make this surgery. I’ll even let you keep most of your stuffing. But I’m gonna get it. I’m gonna get what I want. The center of you – that thing that keeps you alive – makes you squeak when I squeeze.
Got it now. All mine! Oh, and I lied about keeping most of your stuffing inside.
Okay person, do what you’ve gotta do.
On to my next squeaky toy.

Sweet Kitten, that sunshine had a good life. My person bought it for a Vacation Bible School activity. It was in the party section of the store. When she saw that it was a dog toy she gave it to me after Vacation Bible School was over.

Oh Bongo say it ain’t so. Oh well, half the fun of getting them is to have your way with them.

Kibble, I usually restrain myself from tearing my toys apart, but sometimes it’s just so much fun.

That’s the way, Bongo. Out with the old squeaky to make room for new squeakys.
Bongo

Patricia, I’m trying to get my person to get me a box full of squeakys. Then I would be in tear apart heaven.

Lulu and Sofie, it’s all in a dog’s day. I’m sure glad the things we’re required to do are so much fun.

Better watch it Bongo, or your human might get you rawhide chews instead of the squeeky ones and then what’ll you do?
Bongo
January 18, 2012 at 8:47 pm
Sandra, I eat the rawhide chews but I wish they would squeak.

Oh Bongo you have more restraint than Riva, she rips them up immediately 🙂

Misty, I’m afraid if I rip them up right away I won’t have any toys left to play with.

Looks to me like I’m not the only one who enjoys a good squeaker now and then. Heh-heh. Way to go, Bongo, my friend. Way to go!

Thanks Henry. I could get addicted to squeaker surgery.

Oh-Oh! What’s happened to the “missing” stuffing? [or maybe I don’t want to know!] it looks like your person was having an even greater time capturing the moment! RIP sunshine. Beware though of the ghost of sunshine! [some persons stitch them back together…!]
Bongo

Marina, my person threw my sunshine away.

Wow!! You are the top surgeon in your field sweet Bongo, just look how you get right in there and get those squeakers out in record time. Hugs and nose kisses.

Thanks Mumsy. I pride myself in doing quick surgery. Hugs and nose kisses back to you.

OMD! Poor squeaky toys! Sunshine has gone and now the target is deer??? (looks it has antlers.)
You are a good surgeon! much better than humans! Heeheehee…
My mom got some squeaky toys for me but I can’t play with them because the sound scares me! 🙂
Bongo
January 19, 2012 at 11:02 am
Thanks Kevin. It was fun pulling that squeaker out and then tearing up the sunshine. I have to be nice to some of my squeaky toys though because I really like to make them squeak.

Haha Bongo. You did a number on sunshine! I think maybe you also killed our sunshine because we had snow today for the first time all winter. I think your sunshine had powers. 🙂
Bongo
January 19, 2012 at 7:49 pm
Brown Dawgs, how much fun to get snow. Maybe I need to tear up another sunshine so I can get snow too. We got more sunshine here.

Nice job, Bongo!! You and Scarlett would have lots of fun together at our place ripping apart the smaller pups’ squeaky toys 🙂

Deanna, I would love to have a ripping up party with Scarlett. That sounds like fun.

Oh good for you Bongo! Imagine that, that, that thing impersonating as Sunshine! Humph! Good riddance! 🙂

Sunshine, that squeaky to that tried to be a sunshine could never be as good as you. That’s why I had to tear it up.

Rumpy, I guess it’s peaceful in the garbage can as long as I don’t get into it. That’s where my person buried Sunshine.

Thanks, Bongo, now I know why my friend Tucker maltese does this! He just wants something different and at that squeaker, which, by the way, he has a hard time getting it to squeak. Hmmmm. That may be another reason he rips it apart. 🙂
Bongo
January 21, 2012 at 6:49 pm
Leslie, squeaker toys aren’t much good if you can’t get them to squeak – so you might as well rip out the squeaker.

Okay, I get it now. My two darlings have set upon poor old donkey. First I stitched his eyes shut, then I stitched them shut again. My two furry friends take turns at digging out his insides and when I ask them what happened they look wide eyed and shocked. Hmmm – Thanks for the heads up Bongo.
Bongo
January 22, 2012 at 7:55 am
Louise, part of the fun is getting the insides to the outside of our toys. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
