Are we there yet?

How many days is it until Mountain Hounds 2008?

Smokey said he has his favorite toy and is ready to go.

That is the cutest & brightest toy I have ever seen! Too cute! Smokey don't look like he'll leave home without it.

Goldie Gorilla is his favorite toy. The first one he removed arms and legs, ears, tongue and then face. So he is on #2. We have a third one in the closet............shhhh.

And GFNC will be selling these toys at Mountain Hounds.

Smokey is too cute with his goldie Gorilla.

Thalia- We will have some of these toys (not sure of a Goldie Gorilla will be for sale) at Mountain Hounds. I think Hillary deserves one after all the donations she has been getting for the silent auction (shhh we will not tell the others what she has gotten- they will have to go to MH and bid) Maddie has several of these toys and is usally running around the house with her "Moosey" who is 14 inhes long. That and her Moo are her favorite toys.

Ooooohhh! That is GreyT!!!! I won't even tell Hillary, Amy you can. That is the coolest toy I've seen! It sure sounds like all the Greys really love them!

Everytime I look at Smokey (love brindles!) & that goldie Gorilla, it just makes me smile. Spares always come in handy. I found an AKC "bunny" that Hillary loves to play with (the texture of the material drives her crazy!), so we have one at home, one at work and one in a drawer. Yes, Hillary "knows" the drawer!

So Amy you have a Moose on the loose with Maddie?

We have a Moose, a Puppy and a Doggie (that are all made by Collasal Toys) and they are scattered throughout the house. It is like having a kid. LOL (and I don't even have kids) I end up picking them all up and putting them away. Sometimes she tries to take them outside into the backyard but she knows better now and drops them at the backdoor. I have been known to walk with one (when we first got one) in the neighborhood because I let Maddie take her toys out for a "walk" with us. That ended real soon as she would drop them and I ended up holding them throughout the walk. She has a screaming monkey too.

We need some new toys over here!

After they disembowled the frog and his squeaker was hanging out of this tummy I threw him out the back door till I could try to operate and resurrect him and Cheewa stood there looking longingly at him through the window.

Don't anybody tell him he has to stay home this year with his Dad, since we are up on the 3rd floor and he wont do outside stairs Joy is going with me.

And the answer to the question is...............36 days until Mountain Hounds

And a cute story about the toys. Smokey likes to carry his toys outside. Tonight he took Mr Frog who is missing all four apendages. Jasmine would steal it when he would lay it down. Then she would squeak it so Smokey would come find it and take it back. They did this for several minutes. Even when she didn't squeak he would find it. His sense of smell is something else.
