While I was talking on the phone today, Oscar yet again amazed me. They say that a Siamese is part dog... well, it's been confirmed here. I'm yacking away on the telly, and from around the corner comes Oscar with a huge furry dog ring (it has the faux leopard fur on it...). The toy is about the size of a man's shoe (but round), yet little Oscar (he's only 10 months old, mind you) has it in his mouth. While my friend was speaking, I watched in amazement (and snickering to myself) as Oscar took the pup's toy under a table and proceeded to chew on it hard enough to make the squeaker go off!! "Squeak, squeak, squeak"..... Happy (my dog) comes running to see if it's me squeaking one of his toys. When he realizes it's not me squeakin' the toy, and he see's that Oscar has yet *another* toy that is meant for dogs, Happy plops down and puts his chin on the floor in between his paws. (He's a Basset Hound, so it's easy to look depressed for him!)

Oscar continued to "squeak" for about five minutes. I gave the toy back to Happy afterwards... but nothing doing now. It has cat spit on it, you know!
