Hey Brian, Thanks for the mention! Now that you are rolling I mention yours. Much appreciated. Talking about dog toys, an artist friend of mine KATIE C. GUTIERREZ sent me a book she had made called Loved to Death that was a photo book of all of the torn up dog toys that her dog hand turned into things only an artist can love. It was a great book. It was on blurb but now I can't find it.
She wrote about it: "The inspiration for this book came from one of Sukie’s favorite toys, a bee with rope legs and an obscene stinger that we named “The Beenis.” After snickering endlessly at the demise of his stinger, I began to notice that the manner in which most of the dog’s toys met their end was pretty humorous. Lammie’s ears. Glowie’s lips. Mr. Froggie’s ankles. The beloved suede mouse belonging to our cat….all loved to death."
Oh man, stories about old dogs always destroy me. 😭

Thanks Cecil. We have the head of a bunny toy Cyrus “killed” mounted on a plaque on the wall. It makes us laugh every day.
I found the link to the book you referenced but it’s no longer available. I’ll reach out to Katie. I need the book. 🙃
Yes you do. I am not sure why the book is down. Great little book.
