[blparent] Toddler Toys

Thu Oct 15 22:06:43 UTC 2009

I have the Noah's Ark, but there must be something in the plastic those 
animals are made of.  My guide dog has chewed up every single one of the 
animals except one turtle and Noah.  The Ark is utterly depopulated.  She 
doesn't usually chew plastic that much, though she has chewed a stuffed fish 
and some wood blocks, so I was thinking the plastic on Little People stuff 
must have something in it that she favored.
