Dixie and I have gotten so very close and I try each day to show her something new, cool and fun about being a dog that she might not know. I've taught her about snuggles, getting under blankets for warmth, finding just the right spot outside to mark (yes, girls mark too), and many other things. Well, we know that she didn't have any toys or playtime in her past life, and she just recently discovered that she LOVES squeaky toys, so today I decided to show her how to get the very most out of a squeaky toy. Here's how it went:
"Pixel, you want me to do what with this again? It looks like a lion. Lions are much bigger and meaner than we are. Won't it eat me?"
"It is only a stuffed lion Dixie. I promise it won't hurt you. Now, I want you to grab it like this and go Grrrrrrrr! like I'm doing here with my favorite orange squeaky toy. Go on..."
"Grrrrrrr!" "Yayyy, it squeaked! I love the squeak...." squeaky, squeaky, squeak!
"You're doing great Dixie! Now, pick it up and start to shake it kind of like this. Let your ears really take off and flap around, just don't let go of the toy." I thrashed my head from side to side to demonstrate. Then I looked out of the corner of my eyes and I see this...
"Um, Dixie?" "Yes Pixel."
What happened with the lion toy? You were doing so well at squeaking the lion toy with all fervor.What happened?"
"The quacking ducky got lonely."
You just can't argue with that kind of logic.
