It had coarse fibers for wiping off mud and grass (practical), but also had a beautiful scroll design painted in black (fun!).  It was a steal at TJ Maxx ($12.99), so I can't really be mad at her.  Plus, it stays on the ground with all of her other outdoor toys, so how was she supposed to know I didn't want her to eat it??  It took me a while to realize what she had done; I kept finding little bits of the fiber fluff around our house and could not figure out where it was coming from.  Then I went outside to play frisbee with her and saw this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae276/chinchilla215/Jazzy/IMG_1584-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae276/chinchilla215/Jazzy/IMG_1584-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How could I get mad at that cute face??  I couldn't help but laugh, and take a few photos while she was in the mood to pose for me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are 3 "P"s in puppy, and they all stand for Patience!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7914798805470477491-4615041843064121781?l=thenestingchinchilla.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenestingchinchilla.blogspot.com/feeds/4615041843064121781/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thenestingchinchilla.blogspot.com/2010/01/55-lb-creature-that-currently-rules-our.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7914798805470477491/posts/default/4615041843064121781'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7914798805470477491/posts/default/4615041843064121781'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenestingchinchilla.blogspot.com/2010/01/55-lb-creature-that-currently-rules-our.html' title='The 55 lb. creature that currently rules our life'/><author><name>The Nesting Chinchilla</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11712555167806711748</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae276/chinchilla215/Jazzy/th_IMG_1501-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
