Cordia's stash

Uploaded: February 16, 2009

Description

This flock (heap?) of ducks belongs to Cordia, my 10 year old Giant Schnauzer. She is addicted to those ducks and no other size will do. These are quite large, about 2 feet long or so. Other sizes (exactly the same otherwise) are not liked. She carries and chews on a duck every day. So far she has never been duckless and probably will not be ever. When one duck gets thorn or too dirty, she gets another one. I buy them wherever I see them at the flea markets :-)

A P February 16, 2009

Phantom always likes his "newest" toy. Once the squeaker breaks it's on to the next one. That's so funny yours likes this one duck stuffie.

Barbara I just saw all these little birds out my side window (SOUTHERN LIGHT!!) Ran and got my camera thinking Barbara can do it so can I. When I got back to the window all the little birds were gone. Better keep the camera sitting there huh? LOL #7172835

Tammy Espino February 16, 2009

My dog used to have a toy box. I would pick him up toys from the salvation army since he always made them eyeless and squeekyless..lol :o) #7173034

Shelly A. Van Camp level-classic February 16, 2009
