Um. Hey, ladies! Hear that? I have stuffed toys! Manly yet vulnerable, that's me. (Actually, I think everybody should have stuffed toys. They fill a definite need.) Um, ah … well. Um.

Hey, ladies! Hear that? I have stuffed toys! Manly yet vulnerable, that’s me.

(Actually, I think everybody should have stuffed toys. They fill a definite need.)

Sadly, the new puppy has not. So back onto the top shelf of the closet go my collection of foxes. And I think Manly Action Adveture Writers and the like should have plush toys. It sheds light on the vulnerable side that made women get all weak in the knees. ^_~ Lucky for me Guinevere has learned the finer points of “Mama’s toys” and “Guinevere’s toys.” Sadly, the new puppy has not.

Actually, the aversion only seems like common sense to me. And your additions make sense too. I'll make sure to avoid those shapes of dog-toys as well. For that matter I don't give Emma stuffed toys, because, not to put too fine an edge on it, I <em>have</em> stuffed toys, which she by-Gods better not tear up. And if people have problems with the concept that a Manly Action Adventure Writer has stuffed toys, they can learn to deal. As for those who think it's unreasonable to deny their dogs skunk-shaped stuffies, I hope they enjoy having their pets come in the house some day in such a state they'll want to soak 'em down in raw sewage, just to cut the <em>smell.</em> Always a pleasure, Sara.

That is exactly why Guinevere and Eowyn do not get any toy shaped like an animal I don't want them near. It is also the reason they have no toys shaped like SHOES or BOOKS or the REMOTE CONTROL or the CELL POHNE or any other article in my possession that they might mistake for something-good-on-which-to-gnaw-because-they-have-a-toy-that-looks-just-like-it. (because I have seen toys shaped like all of the above!) THANK YOU, VIC! I am so glad to know that I am not alone in this aversion! NO KIDDING!
