 Yes!!!
When brand new little Dublin was in wild teething mode, I tried to find a hand puppet that I could put on and play with him without getting my hands torn up. Couldn't find one at any of the toy stores. Tried an animal-head oven mitt, but he didn't like it...
Then one day I was walking past a golf store and saw in the window these things that you put over the golf clubs to protect them. They had big animal heads (stuffed with styrofoam) with a long sock-like sleeve. Evidently they weren't selling too well and were marked way down. So I bought one that was a big boxer dog head.
Dub LOVED it. It was win win. He got to play and I got to keep permanent scarring from my hands...
Now it's always on the bedroom floor, and sometimes he plays with it, but every night when we go upstairs to bed, Dublin has to take a moment and hump the boxer-head before he settles in for the night!
It's hysterical. I'll have to get a video before he grows out of it. The darn head is almost as big as he is!!
They must be remembering their babyhood or something. For sure a Yorkie thing, because none of my other males have done it!! |
