My floor is, at any given time, littered with dead bodies, fuzzy guts, loose arms, legs, ears. At my feet currently is a dead hippo and a dead Santa.
Very sad. We have a basket behind our couch where the bodies are stored until someone wants to drag them around again.This place always looks like there's just been a massacre. But they love the de-stuffed critters as much as the new ones.

I think I have that same dead Santa. You and I seem to have the same sense of humor. You make me laugh the way you describe things, because we also have a basket filled with limp and lifeless toys that we just can't seem to throw away. And to think you have 2 B's and I only have one!!!

The only time my floor is clear of stuffing and dead toy parts is the few minutes before I start weekly vacuuming and the half hour afterwards. I put all his toys (even the ones I wouldn't call toys anymore) in a box by the chair and EL D waits until a little after the vacuuming is done before he starts to pull them all over the place (except never into the bathroom - funny).

Yes, we have many toys that shouldn't be called toys anymore; those things that normal people would have long ago thrown away. But then, we're not normal people, we are Basenji owners. :D

Magnum usually has no interest in his stuffed toys, unless there's a loose thread/seam, then he'll rip them apart.
Otherwise, he just wants you to leave them alone. They're his and only his.

my dogs surgically open the back seam of the hedgehog and dig out the squeaker - then the stuffing and then throw around the empty fleece carcass as a toy - looks to me like a kid with a new toy that goes and plays with a box!

The B I am fostering came with a de-stuffed…um...thing (I really couldn't tell you what it once was). When she doesn't get her way she will BAROOOOOO at us as loud as she can and then grab the stuffy and shake, shake, shake it and throw it in our general direction. If she could say "so there', I know she would.
