Anipal Photo Hunt #3: My Favorite Toy

Oh. My. Goodness... Cokie announced this week's Anipal Photo Hunt theme and did you SEE what it is?! MY FAVORITE TOY. This theme is just totally meant for me! Cokie might as well have said, "Hey, Buttons, why don't you talk about your favorite thing???" I love toys more than anything! Although, now that I think about it, I would make one little change to this theme because, in all reality, how on earth do I pick just ONE favorite toy???

I could pick my snake, Anna Conda.

Or my ostrich...that may have been partially decapitated last night...and may have lost both squeakers this morning...

Or Mini Buttons.

Been playing with those three the most lately. But there's also my brown bear and my giant squirrel and my skunky.


And my floppy fishy.

And my blue zanies guy.

And my monkey.

And my other monkey.

And my purple piggy.

And my green loofah.

And my fox.

And my pink thing.

And my purple ball thing.

And my rubber chickens.

Ahhh...I could just keep going forever...

Oh, how I love toys.

Snake Attack!!!

Today started out like a normal Saturday for us, but then things took a terrible, horrible turn for the worst when I noticed Mom putting my duckies into the bathtub. That's never a good sign. Sure enough, THIS happened...

In addition to the typical bath horror, Mom decided to torture me with a stupid wash cloth. She used it to get the allergy goops off of my eyes, but then she had to go and do THIS...

That was totally NOT funny. Of course I tried to escape.

But Mom kept catching me and putting me back in the tub. Darn it! I suppose it was probably about time I had a bath, though. Check out how dirty that water is from just little old me! He he he.

After my bath ordeal, I took some extra time to dry my furs on my doggie bed.

Now you're probably wondering why I called this post "Snake Attack!!!" if I was only gonna talk about my stupid bath. Well, here's why...

After my bath, Mom took me out for a short walk. We saw our mailman outside and he had a package for us. When we got back inside, Mom opened the package...and there was a vicious, hideous, rattler SNAKE inside!

I knew that it was my job to protect Mom in this situation. I am, after all, a doggie. So I jumped right in and attacked that horrible snake.

Here's some video of me taking care of the rattler snake!

Of course I had to pluck it, too...

After the snake was properly subdued, I had to rest for a while. That snake wore me out.

What a day...what a day...
