I bought Duke a toy in the last week of his life. He always got so excited when I came home with bags and he always knew there would be something in them for him. If I wasn't quick to give him something he would search the bags himself (if he could reach them). So I was hoping that a new toy would brighten his day. He carried it around in his mouth for an entire day but not once did it get shaken. It did crinkle a bit.
I haven't had the heart to get rid of any of his toys and since this one is brand new and barely been played with I thought I would do some playing with it. I added a little texture and did a few adjustments.
This last one I added added a different edge and cloned out the I crinkle sticker.
Just because one crinkles a bit doesn't mean they still aren't foxy
Some of us continue to crinkle, but in my case, it seems to be joints snap crackle and popping. tee-hee
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you got him the perfect toy, he really loved it.
ReplyDeleteSave them, I bet a new dog enters your life someday
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet toy - you should definitely keep it!
ReplyDeleteSammy gets excited when I come home with bags too :)
At least he enjoyed it a little. I agree that you should save it for a new dog in your life one day. We have a closet of things for that purpose although we're not any closer to adding a new family member yet.
ReplyDelete"Just because one crinkles a bit doesn't mean they still aren't foxy" Brilliant - that belongs on a poster.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Duke would mind seeing the next pup playing with his toys. In fact, I am quite sure he would be greatly disappointed if he didn't see another fluffball romping around his house much sooner than later.
ReplyDeleteDon't throw his toys away. Each one tells a story. You know the story too.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific Friday my friend. ♥♥♥
makes my heart hurt thinking of him to sick to shake his crinkle toy.. it really is a cute toy... maybe you could donate it to someone.. what fun to play with the photo and i am so glad you let me know it is alright to be crinkled, i am really crinkled and NOT cute at all and not foxy either.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had foxy fun with Dukes toy and a good way to keep him in your heart.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute toy. I didn't throw away anything, until it was time. Thanks for sharing, Ann!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, hope the weather is perfect.
Sweet toy, I'm sure it helped your Duke feel loved and happy that day.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed that last line! lol
Smart idea to keep the top and create with it. Cute saying :)
ReplyDeleteDon't you dare get rid of his toys! They are not yours...besides a crinkle here and there means it was loved!!!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteAhhh--what a sweet toy.. Save it.. That's another way you can keep Duke alive... You can name this one --and he can become part of the family...
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who has a 'car dog' ---that lives in her car and goes with her everywhere she goes... You might do that with 'Crinkle'.... Love him...
Hugs,
Betsy
It's very cute. I thought it was cats that liked things to crinkle.
ReplyDeleteBetsy's idea is sweet. :) I'm still sending hugs to you from me.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute toy. We always made a big deal about presenting our Buddy with new toys, and he would literally jump for joy when we brought one home. Balls were his favorites. He even had his own toy box! I recommend that you keep a few as a remembrance.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet....Ann, hang on to his toys...never know if you might want to share them with a new little love someday!
