I pulled out Guinness's Christmas stuffed animals and jingle bell collar. Toby seems to like the collar, and he immediately claimed the toys. The reindeer which sings "Rudolph" was the first he picked up. Then he checked out the others and started chewing/tearing some of them apart -- pulling out the stuffing and the noise makers. He loves his stuffed animals, but also delights in removing the stuffing, leaving only a rag. But he still enjoys the rag. I didn't want him to ruin the reindeer, so I hid it before I left for the evening. Now, several days later, the reindeer is still intact and his favorite one! He squeezes it to make the song play and prances around proudly with the reindeer in his mouth. Sometimes he places his toys in one area. A couple of days ago, he placed all his Christmas toys near the tree and lay down on top of them! I guess, he thinks he is as cute as his toys (which he is!). Then yesterday, he had them all in a line, then lay down beside them.
