Frodo and Tilly's Special Presents

Each year a friend who adopted our 2nd foster dog sends a package to Frodo and Tilly from her dog Suki. She knows that Tilly likes to tear apart Kong Squeaker tennis balls and Frodo loves to shred plushies and that I don't really let them do this very often. So each year she sends squeakie tennis balls for Tilly and a Christmas plushie for Frodo so they get to have the pure joy of doing what they love best (next to eating) - destroying toys.

Because the other dogs all know that it's easy to steal stuff from Frodo he gets to enjoy his stuffie away from the other dogs and tear it apart to his hearts content. While Tilly was in the kitchen getting to work on her first tennis ball, Frodo was upstairs with his Christmas octopus, chewing off his legs one by one. Unlike most toys that just have two arms and two legs, this octopus had eight whole appendages to chew off!

Three down, five to go

"What?!"

Apparently I was messing with his mojo by documenting Mr. Octopus' destruction

Mr. Octopus is now an octo-plegic but he's still smiling happily. Obviously he's not aware what is in store for him next (the gutting). That would wipe the smile off his face.

UPDATE: Mr. Octopus is still smiling, although he's a shell of his former self.
