A bit one-handed
Hello. My name is Gary the Gorilla.
I’d look you in the eye, but I’m afraid they’ve been chewed off. You see, I’m one of Bear and Bitty’s toys. One of their favorite toys. They like me a lot.
Maybe a little too much.
It all started off so innocently. We were playing a nice game of gorilla in the middle when suddenly…it happened. I was a two armed gorilla one minute, a one armed gorilla the next.
And it’s not just Bear. Don’t worry, it didn’t hurt. I have a lot of stuffing. It’s simply a bit inconvenient. It’s hard to play basketball with one arm. And eating macaroni cheese? A total mess.
Just let him have his fun.
Ok now. Can I have my arm back?
Please? Pretty please?
Oh now you’re just teasing me. Quit scraping off the green fuzz with your teeth! My arm is not an artichoke leaf.
If only I was a starfish.
Stop wuffling. You’re not the one missing an arm. You’re sorry, you say? You can’t help being a toy destroying machine? You can’t resist the siren call of stuffing and torn threads? Well, I forgive you. You did destroy the dolphin. And now he looks better than ever after his surgery! I’m sure I’ll look great. Maybe I can even be a gorilla model. I look good in green.
I’ll just wait here awhile until the doctor can see me. I hope I don’t get the same plastic surgeon as last time. She really messed up my nose job.
Seven things about the Babies:
1) They were born Jan.29, 2008.
2) They sleep in the same bed snuggled up.
3) They are the only dogs that literally scream when scared.
4) Bitty is only 4 lbs. and full grown. Bear is 7 lbs. He has a tummy. He likes to show it off by flopping over at night and airing himself out.
5) Bear carries his dolphin all over the house. They’re inseparable. If Bitty tries to play with the dolphin, Bear freaks out and barks at her.
6) Bitty is convinced the wind is out to get us. She informs us of this daily. Loudly.
7) I had to do it.
I can’t help myself.

Those are adorable pictures. The poor bear. Would they like a cat to play with?

Reminds me of Thor's lobster's recent surgery. Thor only weighs 265, just so Bitty & Bear know, when you come for your peanut butter brownies. Thor will share his dog food with them. He doesn't much like it, anyway.

the last one looks like the Yin and Yang of puppydom.
I am not a ‘dog person’, but even I sighed at the last one.

Poor monster!! The puppies are too cute. You can’t get mad at them for playing around!

That last photo is so dear!! Just loving your little ones!!
I had 3 little maltese pups, lost 2, and have 1 now….
My Kayla gets completely crazed with a hand puppet… if she were able to get a hold of it, I’m sure it would be torn to shreds!
We’re finally ready to get at least one more pup

Found you from PDub’s site.

Duckie:
I’m so sorry to hear about Ben’s dad. I’ll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I owe you an email. I will try for tonight. I had to give up my laptop this week and now I have to share with the Quiet man who is getting his doctorate on line. It is cramping my style!

We use to have a dog that when you bought him a squeeky stuffed animal, he had NO REST till he got the squeeky thing out of the toy!
October 21st, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Oh my goodness, I am loving your pics of your cute dogs. I can’t believe they cuddle together. So cute!!

I love your little pups Duckie! They are adorable. Every time I see a picture of them I want one for myself, or two or three even!!! Poor green gorilla. It’s not easy being green!! Just ask Kermit the frog! I used to love listening to him singing that song! You have a wonderful way with words as always my sweet friend! XXOO I’m up all night packing tonight . . . again . . . blah!

Duckie Ahhh the babies look as cute as ever – I didn’t realise they were so young as well!
October 22nd, 2008 at 4:57 am
Total sweetness!
October 22nd, 2008 at 6:48 am
Lol! I’d look you in the eye, but I’m afraid they’ve been chewed off. Priceless
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:41 am
Does Bitty bark at the wind? LOL! That would be way too funny. So will the gorilla get the same plastic surgeon ?
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:23 am
Awwww… so cuuuuute!
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Sweet pictures of them sleeping!!
October 23rd, 2008 at 2:55 pm
LOL! Bear has a tummy from that peanut butter he loves!
Our two yorkies are the same way…only it’s been a “Carrot”. There are no more “leaves” on top of it. For 7 years, and tons of toys later, the “Carrot” has been the most prized possession .. and ‘game piece’.
