Today the UPS guy dropped off a big box of toys sent by a wonderful sanctuary supporter in Florida, and before you could say "soft squeaky toy," Miss Cardboard Shredder went to work. As I have reported before, blind Goldie is just a wee bit OCD about soft squeaky toys, or SSTs. Her SST rules-to-live-by include: 1) One is never enough; 2) Where there's one there must be two; and 3) Where there are two, there must be even more!
So first she chewed a hole in the top corner, and then began fishing around inside. Goldie never really destroys the box, preferring instead to make neat holes just big enough for the purpose at hand. In this case, big enough to get her head inside ... barely. You can tell from the photo above she already took a brief time-out to momentarily defluff one toy, but then dove back into the box. Here she is, waiting to see if we'd let her keep going:
Goldie's back is shaved because she had surgery last week to remove a cancerous growth from over her ribcage. The biopsy results came back on Saturday and showed good, clean margins around the tissue, so we know we got it all. There will be many more boxes to shred in her future!
And did you let her keep going, or did you make her share? :)
Glad to hear Goldie is doing is so well!

Glad to hear about Goldie's recovery. After all that she is allowed as many toys as she can handle!
