a parent's four-legged ally

[sistawendy]

Nibs & I have been riding the Wendling for years to put his stuff away, as do most parents. One of the items we're long since tired of picking up in various places around the house is his retainers. You know, the ones that go in his mouth.

Enter Bigpuppy. She chewed both his retainers into sharp bits yesterday; we're hoping she didn't swallow any. The replacement cost is coming out of m'boy's Bar Mitzvah money.

If he learns anything from this, Bigpuppy should work out better than I ever imagined. If he can't get it together, though, our adoption trial period ends and Bigpuppy goes back to Motley Zoo. Doing otherwise could endanger the dog.

Heh - we'll see if it works. So far, having a couple of her toys broken and thrown out hasn't increased the munchkin's tendency to pick up.

I do like the pacifier idea.

Well, m'boy's 13 now. He has more of an attention span & memory than your munchkin.
