Trying to replace elephant


Tucker's beloved elephant toy is hanging on by it's last ear. All he has left is an ear and a trunk. Tucker has loved that thing to death...he has gutted it and sucks on it's one remaining ear like a baby. We know it won't last much longer and we stress as to how to replace it. He won't go to bed without it! We've bought several toys hoping he will latch on with no success. While at Target tonite we saw this great dog toy. It's called "Road Kill" and is a long, silky otter. It's limp and gutted just like his elephant. It's the same color and has the same texture fur. It was also $20. I would have never spent so much on a dog toy if it wasn't for him and knowing he only loves one toy at a time. So we brought it home hoping he would latch on and forget about the nasty elephant. He played with it for a little bit and then Maggie chewed the nose off (little heffer). I hoped he would bring it to bed tonight rather than elephant but instead he chose his "rock" that he re-discovered under the bed last night. Who knows maybe he'll latch on soon enough. To be continued...
