Love is Fleeting

Maya’s “babies” go through four stages. First there is the love affair. She carries her new toy wherever she goes, she guards it from us and the other dog (she even buried a toy in the backyard). She even takes it to bed with her.

Then their is the “fun” stage, the new toy now serves a purpose whether it be tug a war or fetch.

The next stage is the destructive stage. The toy is thrown, tossed, torn apart, and the stuffing must be removed! This eventually leads to the remorse stage. Here she looks sadly at her destroyed toy. Sigh.
