WOMAN SEARCHES GLOBE TO REPLACE DOG’S FAVORITE TOY
Written by Daniela Torgerson
Mr. D, who is our largest four-legged child, is totally obsessed with a squeaky toy that we found at a local Walmart. It is toy is 10 inches long and shaped like a dolphin. It is white rubber or latex with pink, orange and purple polka dots all over.
My Lord, Mr. D played for hours every day with ‘Dolphin’, throwing it into the air and catching it and squeaking it to pieces. Unfortunately, the poor Dolphin could only take so much abuse and fun, it began to fall apart and only held together by dog spit and air. Poor, poor Dolphin! Never again will he squeak.
Mr. D would meet us in the morning with this mangled corpse of a toy and I felt horrible. We debated over coffee, if we should give the Dolphin a funeral or just throw it in the trash. That…is when I got an idea to launch upon an International Mission to find, if possible, the existence of another “Dolphin” of the same make and model. Little did I know, what a challenge I had taken on.
Days turned to weeks, weeks to months. Deeper and deeper became Mr. D’s depression. The problem was becoming more complex. This toy issue needed to be fixed soon. One day about 2 month into the “Dolphin” hunt, we went to a Ross store and I found on a Clearance Rack a very well built squeaky toy, shaped like a football…one that he couldn’t pop and get destroyed in less than a second. Much to my surprise, when we showed Mr. D, he was super excited and he has since become quite a wide receiver…he can catch that football like a pro!!! And he rarely if ever will miss a catch. While the football has been a great spirit lifter…it could never replace the joy that Mr. D experienced with Dolphin.
Then one morning while still trying to awake myself and on my second cup of coffee, I happened to check Ebay again and Amazon to just continue to search…there it was!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes! Dolphins, the same ones I had searched and searched for. Made in China and shipped from China, I didn’t care…I would have drove to China if I could have. Quickly I ordered three as fast as I could get my credit card out of my wallet. OMG, I celebrated for the day. Weeks later, we had “Dolphins” at my house.
What happened next is for the record, one of the greatest moments in pet ownership history, I wish this was on Video tape.
The following morning was just like the previous mornings. We were greeted with loving faces and wagging butts and the mutilated corps of what now was unidentifiable to any other but us, as being a Dolphin. Mr. D gently laid the pillaged remains of his precious toy in the living room floor next to my ottoman, and head down slowly walked to his room. I slowly got up from the couch and very carefully, without being seen or heard retrieved the new Dolphin.. I then returned to my coffee and put my feet on the ottoman. With the new Dolphin behind my back, I squeaked him.Down the hallway Mr. D. bounded, sliding sideways into the living room, coming to a dead stop in front of the lifeless form of the old Dolphin…And he looked at it for what seemed a full minute, then he looked at me as if to say “How the hell did that happen, he is dead for months”.
I couldn’t stand it anymore, laughing so hard till I cried, I gave Mr. D his new Dolphin and he hasn’t come out of his room except to eat (he always brings Dolphin with) or to play football…what a love…

DOG’S ADORABLE FACE MAY LOOK DIFFERENT TO YOU: (This dog was once badly burned by an abuser. The appearance of his facial fur is simply a reflection of the healing from that injury)
