Tibbe likes anything that he can "kill" in the way of toys. He LOVES his toy squirrels and little fake animals - even has a toy mouse cat toy - most with squeakers inside. He'll bite them where the squeakers are just as if he's made a real catch and then he shakes them so viciously it's amazing to see. No doubt it goes back to his ratter heritage in the old country where his ancestors served their people well by keeping their homes, barns, sheds, mills and work-places swept for vermin every chance they got. Terriers really are little killers at heart.
