Mango with her very first toy…Monkey

Squeak-Doggy-Dog is not a rap star, new or old. Squeak-Doggy-Dog is Mango. Mango absolutely loves squeaky toys.

This duck has no idea what it is in for!

After rescuing her from an abusive contractor, I took Mango to the Kaneohe VCA. Having never been to a Vet, the poor thing was a mess. She was six months old. She also had very little discipline. Opposite the cashiers counter at the VCA is a wall of toys. On that wall, a stuffed, blue, yellow, and purple monkey hung. Mango picked that toy… literally, pulled it off the rack. The monkey had a squeaker. That was her first toy. Amazingly, that monkey outlived other toys… toys bought later.

Mango became Squeak-Doggy-Dog at roughly 3 a.m. the next morning. Who knows what a puppy is thinking? She woke up, and she started playing… and squeaking.

One of Mango’s favorite things to do to stuffed, squeaky toys is to remove the squeaker. First, Mango works the seams of the stuffed toys. Once she makes a small hole, she exploits that hole, enlarges it, and then begins pulling the stuffing out. BTW, when the stuffing hits the open air, it literally EXPLODES. We generally end up with something resembling a snow storm in our living room. Then, Squeak-Doggy-Dog victoriously removes the squeaker. We quickly pull that away from her… but there will be another toy, another squeaker…

If only Squeak Dog was rich like Snoop Dogg… or, maybe she is… at least in her dog, doggy mind.
