 heh well We don't have any of those about, so I'm glad I won't have
 to find out. :)

 I bet that is what Abbie would do. She's not in it for kill, she just
wants to PLAY. She loves to play. Life is one big playtime to her. :)

When I had to sew up a hole in a toy she had gotten the ear off of,
and a lot of stuffing too- she WATECHED me- with rapt curiosity. When
I was done she  held it in her paws licking it! Like she was kissing
the towy. That was too cute!
                            
Now all I gotta do is get her toleave my poor plants alone. Shelikes
the color red. Anything with RED in it. But dog's don't see red do
they? They see it as blue? or GreeN? Yellow?

 They know..what they know! (wink)
