Remember Beaver? (Check out: “Good Night, Beaver” for more details) Beaver is Sofie’s lovey. Beaver goes everywhere with Sofie and she can’t sleep if she doesn’t have him. Beaver was a toy that was actually bought for Louise the day I brought Sofie home to live we us. But Sofie decided it was hers, just like she does every toy in the house. Beaver is very important and I now keep him locked up in the kennel during the day because (1) if Louise gets ticked at Sofie, she tries to rip Beaver just to upset her and (2) Sofie tends to get a little protective of Beaver.
I find that some dogs really have an attachment to certain toys (like Sofie does) and others could not care less (like Louise). Because Beaver is now locked up during the day, Sofie has taken to carrying around an ‘airdog’ and whining and carrying on over it instead. At least the ‘airdog’ is a bit more durable, especially out in the yard (where I try to make sure Beaver never goes). One night Beaver did go in the yard and you had to see me walking around with the flashlight to try and find him so that Sofie could go to bed. Oh my, what we do for our furries.
So the other day V came back from the pet store with something really amazing for Nine. A mini Beaver. Now the 2 best friends, Sofie and Nine, have their own matching lovies. Awwwww. Nine’s however, you can fill with catnip. Too cute.

When we find a particular toy that one of ours loves a little too much, we go out and buy three replacements!

I wish I could find another Beaver. I did do that with my human child and her lovey. That is critical.

This is so cute. Our dog took the squeaky duck of my daughter, when she was a baby, and everywhere Droppie (the name of my dog) was, the duck was too 🙂

MiniBeaver! Awesome. I always like whatever toy is new. In the morning, when Mom says, “What about this one?” and “What about this one?” and “What about this one?” I always get the most excited when she shows me the newest toy in the toybox. I do NOT get attached like Sofie. I am fickle!
Love and licks,
Cupcake

I didn’t used to be that attached to my toys, but recently I’ve become attached to my squirrel toy. I carry him around alot and I wash him too…so I know how Sofie feels about Beaver:-)
Love that Nine has one too:-)

Is Squirrel washable? Or do you carry around a wet stuffy?

Doggy love his blanket, it’s full of wholes and dirty, but there’s nothing he liked better than that, I’ll have to introduce him to a new one before this one goes to the trash can.

Try to get one that looks a lot like this one and then slowly switch.
