Odin's grandhumans are in town today and brought him a squeaky rubber chicken. Fortunately for our sanity, he seems to consider squeaking a toy to be a failure state to be avoided, so he holds them gently. #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon
My old dog Bedlam would squeak them repeatedly until the toy reached its final failure state. Fortunately for me, she was so rough that the entire process from new toy to death took about 15 minutes.
@0xabad1dea Maybe it's so loud it hurts his ears and that's why he's avoiding it?
@0xabad1dea our neighbor Cooper, a Newfoundland puppy 4 yrs of age, seems of a similar mind re squeaking. Very genteel of him.
@0xabad1dea noe Thats a Good Boy!
(My dog is very cautious around sqeakies. We got her two in the first year with us but putvthem away. She goes into care and protect mode - no mouth, just gently positioning between her legs 🥺)
@0xabad1dea I love Odin 💜
p.s. please don’t tell my Wicket as she thinks I only have eyes for her
@farbenstau I think he perceives it as the toy saying "ow that hurts :("
