i was laughing as i read these posts.

Although I don't have a dog, my cat does have a favorite stuffed mouse(ghost mouse). Well, he ripped the stuffed mouse a new one and pulled out all the stuffing. He still carried the 'mouse casing' around. So I bought a new mouse,(banshee mouse), and tied the casing of the old mouse onto the banshee mouse. now he loves 'Banshee Mouse'. I bought it because the name made me laugh.
