.....went to Petco and found this great toy. It is a four foot stuffed snake with a rattle in the tail along with a squeeky in the head and tail. Now of course there are smaller sizes but since my Gumdrop thinks she is a German Sheaperd I got the big one. We played with it for a hour straight and when I took a rest she would drag it to my feed to start the came again. When she had the tail I would throw the head away from her and she would chase it and bring it back. I would coil it around her and she would drag it and roll in it. I don't like snakes but it does not look real so I can pick it up ...LOL. She just loves it. It gives her chance to hunt as she graps it behind the head when she shakes it.
