Wednesday-Bensday! Special Rabbit Foot Edition

When we first brought Smalls home, we pulled out a rabbit toy Ben had gotten for Christmas for her to chew on. The rabbit survived a couple of weeks, but then Ben got hold of it and decided that what this rabbit needed was to have its legs removed.

After most of the rabbit had been torn to shreds, one little leg segment remained. And if you asked our dogs, that tiny piece of rabbit foot was the best toy in the house.

Ben and Smalls were constantly stealing it from each other, the victorious puppy of the moment settling in for a good rabbit-foot chew session, pausing only to growl if the other dog threatened to take it away.

During the reign of the rabbit foot, there were frequent tug-of-war sessions between two dogs desperate to claim the foot as their own. How two dogs managed to fit both their mouths around this tiny scrap of toy, I’ll never know. But it sure was fun to watch.

I don’t know if we threw it away, vacuumed it up, or if one of the dogs ate it, but eventually the little blue leg disappeared.

What was so special about that rabbit’s foot? We may never know. Maybe Kaya, Rufus, Ted, Gus, and Zapp can shed some light on the matter.

    So… where’s the rest of the rabbit? What if you ripped off another limb and they could share?

    If it were my house, I would just assume it had been eaten. Rufus will inhale anything he thinks Kaya might be trying to take from him!

    My guess is that it got eaten! And lucky for you, you’ll probably find it later – if ya know what I mean.

    Could it be buried? Are your dogs into burying things?

    AS’s parents’ dogs constantly try to hide things from each other by pushing the couch cushions!

    The obvious answer of why it was so sought was that it was lucky. The not so obvious answer if that it contained a piece roll of microfilm that contains evidence of a second, third, and fourth shooter.

    i think you should buy a bunch of stuffed animals and de-leg them to use in an experiment. you could line them all up and see what kind of leg is most preferred.
