There's nothing like a holiday to get those cardboard-shredding jaws working. As I've reported before, blind Goldie has an incredible nose for detecting when a box has soft squeaky toys in it, and she's not about to wait for us to open it. How else to ensure that you get the first toys if you don't open the box yourself? Except that in this case, Alayne had started to open it … but apparently not fast enough for an impatient Goldie. So she began helping herself.
That's blind Callie on the left, hoping that something will miraculously fall out of the box and land on the floor in front of her. (This is what she does when I'm cooking dinner … she hangs out in the kitchen, waiting to see if anything edible falls off the counter.) Blind Widget has sauntered up on the right, ready to see what Goldie is after.
This shot has "Score!" written all over it:
After Goldie takes her new toy and hides it in the living room, she comes back to find Widget has figured out her technique. Here's Widget trying her paw at it:
Although Widget was grateful for the shipment of toys, she was a bit miffed at the size of the box. It makes it quite difficult for the height-challenged to pilfer the goods. She's hoping that next time they'll send at least one box that is no more than 8 inches high.
