No need to spend $8 on a toy, Mull will take a teeny tiny box to play with. Oi.

I do not know why we buy Mulligan toys – actually we don’t anymore.  He has enough plush toys to last him his whole lifetime, both destroyed and waiting to be repaired and untouched in the bathroom closet.  But leave it to our spoiled pup to love the box that something came in from FedEx or UPS.  …So note to self, no more toys, just cardboard boxes that do not come up past his knees.  Do dogs have knees?!  

….Oddly enough Mulligan is actually terrified of large cardboard boxes and we use one to block him from the front door and areas we do not want him near because he is that scared of it.  Think baby gate in the form of cardboard… but he embraced this little box with love and affection and played and played.   But like all new things that are destroyable Mull will find a way to destroy it and for once we decided to not allow it and took the box from him before he had the chance to rip it to shreds and our floor was covered in cardboard. 

We had a sad little puppy for oh 5 minutes. ….he then found something new to enjoy and forgot all about the box.
