Rawhide Shoe. 58
Needs to be cut up and pieces held for Myrr to eat. She particularly likes the shoelace part. It's ridiculous!
Rawhide Bone. 57
"Glovey". 54
The "Glovey", her first and favorite toy. I think this came from her original owner in Cornwall. The orignal owner needed a change of place and space, which meant Myrr needed new accomodation. Another possession that came with her, is her Linus-like "blanky", which is a stinky old sleeping bag. Whippets are one of those dogs that likes to 'nest' and hide under covers. So she sleeps in a sleeping bag, that is now full of holes, where she's removed the stuffing.
Linus and a directory full of other cartoon skeletons.

Not Count Duckula. 37
Dog Eared Toy. 35
"Glovey" Lining. 34
"Glovey" is the call for Myrr to go hysterical and start trying to bite your fingers off. Myrr has a pair of leather gloves known as "Glovey". She expects you to put one on, so she can attack it. Is it some repressed abuse fantasy? Was she hit by a gloved person as a puppy and this is her inacting some revenge?
"Walkies" means nothing to her "Glovey" is the magical word.
Francis the Ladybug. 32
Bits and pieces of a savaged "Francis the Ladybug" beanie character (current ebay price $6.99, elsewhere up to $12.99). He comes from the Pixar Movie "A Bug's Life" (rated 7.3/10 on imdb.com). Denis Leary voiced the character, on the discussions page of his wikipedia entry: "He looks like a deranged insect in this picture, can we get a new one?"
"Size: each approx. 8" Materials: polyester fibre, polyethylene pellets, plastic stiffener."
This toy would have been more appropriate, the flea character, also one of the ugliest plush toys I've ever seen.
A Squeaky Wheel. 19
