Well, with the onset of winter, Buster has once again begun one of his favourite games - playing with my gloves (which happen to be leather, too!). He chews and pounces and rough houses them, but as someone else mentioned, Buster likes to stick his head into the glove and run around the apartment. It's just too d*mn funny!!!! He doesn't run very fast and sometimes sticks his head in and slides the glove along the floor - "feeling his way around" I guess! I think he just bops lightly along cuz he knows he's gonna bump into stuff - sometimes he just changes direction without looking, other times he pops out, attacks the glove then continues on his dooking way! He was really going at it Sunday night - first time since last winter - kept him busy for a whole ****20**** minutes!!!!!! As for leather (and anything rubbery - I keep my 'toys' locked in a Ferret Free Zone!), BUSTER JUST HAS TO HAVE IT!!! Everything from shoes, to shoe bottoms (sneakers especially), my Ex-Treds knapsack (recycled tire tubes), and my wallet (other motives also involved, I believe - like my credit card!) - he just goes crazy for!!! It's a joke in my household that Buster was into bondage, whips and such in a past life - maybe a dominatrix of some sort! Anyways, from my kinky crew to all of yours - hope your US Thanksgiving was plentiful and that your Christmas wishes will all come true! oxo George and her tribe! D. Pasquino/G.
