Willow's Grandma Cromer gave her a new toy for Christmas, and she's taken to it like I've never seen her take to anything. Willow, for as long as I've known her, has not engaged in very much dog like activity. I try to get her to chase sticks and tennis balls and get nothing. But now she goes crazy over these three little squirrels. She carries them around in her mouth, brings them back to us when we throw them, and can't wait to get back into the house after a walk to play with them.
The squirrels came in this plush tree trunk. You are supposed to put them in the trunk and let the dog get them out. It increases your dog's intelligence, so the box claims. Willow is still struggling with this part, and loses interest pretty quickly. She can get her whole head in the trunk, though, and that's pretty funny to watch.
That's me in the back timing her.
Willow says, "Thanks, Grandma!"

Willow's SOOOOOO part greyhound...they are smart enough to know that laying around is THE life. And if YOU threw the stick then YOU should go get it!
I think she might be part squirrel, too. She starting to treat the toys like babies, gathering them up and putting them between her paws for sakekeeping. When she's not chewing on them, anyway.
