Re: Evil Woobies

Your note made me laugh, Deb.  Thanks so much!  I have
wondered why even Bo's favorite babies suddenly have
been torn to shreds!  I feel much safer now that Sophie has
explained it to us!   We have switched Bo's woobies to the
hand puppets the kid's no longer want, minus eyes and hard
noses of course.  Less stuffing for him to eat after he guts
the evil things ; )--I thought it might be a BARF related thing.
Back to his predatory forebears, lol.

Take care all, Lori and Bo--the woobie hunter
