We did not expect a 10 pound Chiweenie to destroy his toys. Clearly after 4 dogs, we can still be surprised.
Taco loves to play with his toys. He's not aggressive, but he does this little growl thing when you play a little tug with him and either his shamrock or blue dog (aptly named Blue--we're so creative). He'll play with us or by himself and is incredibly happy. He shakes them, licks them, chases and pounces on them, and throws them in the air. When he gets really excited the growl starts a different intensity and other weird noises come out. That's when we wonder why he's so mad at Blue or what the Shamrock did to him while we were away.
Last night he was amusing himself with Blue while Dave and I had dinner. We weren't really paying attention, but at one point Blue flew a good 5 or 6 feet in the air, practically landing in Taco's water dish. We laughed at pure oddity of him being able to get that much gusto into the toss and then went back to eating. While cleaning up, I saw something on the floor. It was Blue's ear! Blue must have been a really bad boy.
Now, for frame of reference, Panda also had one of these toys, though bigger and yellow. And she did not destroy it. We thought she took off its eyebrow, but it turns out they only come with one eyebrow over the right eye.
Luckily there was no love lost between Blue and Taco because later in the evening they were cuddled up on the couch. Blue doesn't quite enjoy TV as much since he can't hear as well, but apparently they are still friends.
