can tell these toys have been truly loved by their owners! isn't it cute and funny sometimes what they latch onto and cherish? when my MIL first got her cockapoo, sam, I made her little guy an irregular shaped fabric circle made of cotton calico (not very thick or durable fabric) and then stuffed it. he immediately seemed smitten with his gift and favored it over all of his wonderful store purchased toys. my mil and I laughed heartily, thinking because of boisterous personality, I was probably going to have to make him one every week, but then he stunned us. we could not believe how gentle and protective he became of his piece of fabric with stuffing. He carried it in his mouth whenever he could; to the vet, for naps, to bed at night, to greet visitors that came, etc., but never outside to play or go potty, as though he instinctively knew that would not be a good place for it. one day when he was around 10 years of age, I was visiting and my mil pointed out that he still had his 'security' fabric circle that had only been gently washed when she could sneak it away from him. amazingly, sam treasured and kept his fabric toy until the day he passed away at age 16. lynn In a message dated 3/27/2011 10:39:10 P.M.
