[nagdu] toys

Thu Mar 26 08:00:20 UTC 2015

My guide's puppy raiser bought her a bumi tug last year for our one
year anniversary together. She's absolutely obsessed with it. It's a
tug toy that's made out of a really thicker rubber material and it
sort of looks like the letter S. Viva plays with it all the time and
it's still in pretty good condition except for the teeth marks. I was
told that GDB gives out bumi toys now for the tug toy because it's a
lot safer than the rope toys they were giving to graduates before; I'm
not sure how accurate this information is though.

their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
