So one night, here recently, I was sitting on the sofa and Landry was in the middle of the floor in front of me chewing on his red towel. You know, the same red towel I am always talking about him playing with.  So, I notice that the corner he is chewing on is about to separate from the towel.  As I am watching this, very closely I might add, I decide to let him continue to enjoy chewing on it, and the minute - no the second- it comes loose - I will jump up and get it and throw it away!  I mean we are talking about a big piece of towel, like a 4x4 inch piece.  A chunk really. (just trying to give you a good picture of what was going on)... SO, the time came- he pulled it apart- I jumped up and was at him in less than 2 seconds- I mean I couldn't have gotten there and quicker!  I get to his mouth, open it up, and GONE!  I mean the whole dang thing GONE - swallowed- whole- GONE. I was amazed! In disbelief!  How??? How in the world did he just swallow this thing whole??? HOW? 
(and now what....ugg...ewwww....uggghhh)

So I decided to lay out his towel to see just how big a piece was missing. WELL- the freakin dog has eaten 3/4 the dang towel! SERIOUSLY!  I have not even noticed this was going on.  I thought he was chewing on the edges, all innocent and all...

and Guess what... we have found red pieces of towel all over the yard... lovely, just lovely.  (if you don't understand that - think on it)

And yes, we are crazy, because he still has the red towel.  He is still allowed to chew on it!  I mean he loves this thing. What to do, what to do...
