When Daisy was a puppy, she thought it was her official duty to unstuff stuffed plush toys. It took her all of 10-20 minutes on even the supposedly toughest of the lot. And there were a LOT.
Now that she’s four years old, she’s got a little more respect for soft toys and they can last for months. However, Daisy has developed a new skill – she’s become a microsurgeon.
She received her honorary title because where she used to cause total destruction, she now has targeted destruction with extremely minimal stuffing removal. How she chooses her targets, we don’t know, but clearly certain toys – and only certain toys – require very precise surgical skills. It’s almost like she just wants to see what’s inside, then leaves it there.
But once in a while, major surgery is required, and Dr. Daisy steps up to the plate.
I’m happy to report that all surgically altered toys are still smiling and happy and seem to have suffered no ill side effects from Dr. Daisy’s medical talents. Whatever will she think of next??
We’re part of the Thursday Barks and Bytes blog hop!
My schnauzer mixes love plush toys. They carry them around chew a little, carry some more. After a few months, the toy is just a rag, but they still love carrying it around.
Whatever makes them happy! 😀
oh that’s a new kind of body art… forget piercing, branding and tattooing…. here comes ripping :o)
could be a new trend Daisy :o)
HAHAHA You know how those crazy trends work – say it loud enough, and it’ll take hold! 😉
She’s a true surgeon, her parents would be proud.
I agree! Her current family is thinking of hanging out a shingle so squeamish dogs can bring their toys in for surgery. 😉
LOL, She went from a chomper to a nibbler. Roxy did that to her stuffed toys the other day. Shocked me, she never does that.
They seem to go through stages or even little phases where they suddenly start a new behavior. It’s interesting and can be really funny…as long as they’re not nibbling on furniture! 😉
Oh! I like your work, Daisy!
Heehee thank you Noodle!! 😀
Ear removal of the long squeaky pup… hmm, yes. I may need to take one from Dr. Daisy’s practice playbook and apply a similar surgery to mine. I haven’t named it, but per your convention would call it “Purply.” *wags* – Gilligan from WagsAhoy.com
LOL!!!! 😀
Her pawrents must be so proud of her plastic surgery skills!
Oh yes indeed, we are thinking of letting her start her own practice! 😉
LOL OH destuffing is an art in my house, but it’s best done after I’ve just vacuumed. And I have no idea how they determine who’s next! They can have a toy for years and then one day, poof! Your number is up. 🙂
Thank you for joining the blog hop.
HAHA That’s so true! There’s no predicting the canine mind! 🙂
Hahaha I loved this post. I have to have microsurgery on my eye in a couple of weeks and I am a bit nervous about it. I will remember Dr. Daisy now when I get anxious. 🙂 Thanks for joining the hop!
Dr. Daisy will send you lots of supportive Havachon puppy kisses. I had no idea you needed eye surgery, I’m sure it’ll go very well. We’ll be sending positive thoughts your way.
I had no idea either until last week. 🙂
Hilarious! That’s quite a talent! Will Dr. Daisy be available to stitch up a wound?
Haha no unfortunately Dr. Mommy handles the final stitches!
I think she has learned, as she has got older and wiser, that the stuffing doesn’t taste so good!
Haha Yes that and that her toy supply dwindles quickly! 😉
I bet she is a great surgeon 😉
Well she certainly loves her work! 😀
That is too funny! I wish our dogs would be more precise in their destruction….they are still into the total destruction mode, even our 10 year old! I guess some dogs just aren’t meant for the detail work. 🙂
Haha That’s true, each dog has their own method of “toy appreciation”! 😉
How cute. She’s curious about her world and trying not to destroy it too much!
And it’s such a nice change for us!
Now that is an art!!
LOL She’s a pro! 😉
My dogs love to disembowel their toys. They don’t have the surgical skill of Daisy.

Haha That’s how Daisy was for the first two years of her life – no toy lasted more than 20 minutes!
Hugs and nose kisses
Thanks for visiting, Maggie! I know how much you’re going through with your arm (and everything else), so I really appreciate you stopping by. 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by, Maggie! I thought of you when I put up the bird photos, I knew you’d enjoy them. 🙂
Sure did. Hugs
