Socrates is a 7yo cockapoo. He has been walking around the house for close to seven years with a chewy in his mouth. He takes them to bed and sleeps with one.. He doesn't chew them. Sort of like a pacifier. I could change pictures to him in his leather biker vest, or Halloween when I wrapped him in bandages.. I could see the animal lovers calling the animal protection on me.. I was using a figure of speech when I mentioned that he would get dropped kicked if he didn't cut out what he was doing.. Too many on the board took it seriously, and were ready to come after me.. He is an extremely pampered, and loved little fellow.. We are talking about having his own dog house under my desk so his little tush wouldn't get cold.. and he can hang out with his mom..
