My Jack Russell Story:
My JRT, Amstel, has a very strange favorite toy. It used to be a 7 foot black plastic drainage pipe. One day she saw a toad in the pipe and went crazy trying to get it out. The next day, the toad having long since gone, she went running out to the pipe and starting chewing and pulling on the pipe convince it was still in there. Eventually, one day while we were at work she pulled hard enough to detach the pipe. That was when it became her favorite toy. It has been in our backyard ever since. Every day she runs out, chews on it, and pushes it around the yard barking frantically. Needless to say, the pipe is now about five feet long!
