Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for January 25, 2025

Think how the poor squeak toy feels!

That’s what happens when you say something as ambiguous as that.

Cats are quieter.

My wife bought some Quiet stuffies. The squeaker is ultrasonic, the dogs aren’t interested.

Who invented squeak toys? But one of my favorite cat-sitting memories is when brown tabby Tigger lost his squeaky mouse, looked all around, and then sat on it. When it squeaked, he went about two feet straight up.

We have a new puppy so this made me literally laugh out loud!

Rocket science.

As the dog awakens, so doth the household.

Get dressed and leash up the dog, and take him for a walk girls. After a week of that, we’ll see if they still want a dog.

There are farting and grunting ones.

somehow, my dogs who can’t read a clock, know when it is 5 a.m.

Our dachshund Angel would join me in the bedroom when I watched Bleak House on PBS, and always brought a toy with her. She thought it was Squeak House.
