Ditto on the danger warnings - I had a recent scare with Ritz and a loooong piece of string - we were very lucky it didn't work its way into her intestines - she has this thing about swallowing strings, just can't be too careful. I think she might have watched that scene in Lady and the Tramp with the plate of spaghetti and taken it too seriously!

We playwith them, but they always get put away when mom or dad not around to supervise.
