Snoball's New Toy


Snoball got a new toy the other day, but I forgot to post it. I made it myself from "a few of his favorite things" :)

The toy is just as big as he is, and has lots of bits and pieces hanging off of it from here, there and everywhere. But the entire thing cost no more than $11.00. The bell in the center is an "indestructibell" which is made from powder-coated metal and has a short clacker so that he can't rip it out like he does with all the other bells. That was the priciest component at a whopping $3.00. The plastic chain and leather pieces were no more than $2.00 ea. And best of all, if he breaks any one part it can easily be replaced for $2.00 or less! He loves this thing. It's so funny to see him sit and fiddle with it. He tries very hard to get his talons around the plastic links, and if he can't get his toes to fit in them "just so" then he won't grab it. So he has to sit there and work his feet like mad, trying to slide his toes into the links and it just looks so silly.

I'm going to go pick Snoball up from work in just a minute and we'll be going to the reptile store. Hopefully Snoball will feel up to posting a blog about it. ;)
