Monday Mischief-Our Best Toy

Years ago, when the original three Urban Hounds, Tubby, Norbert, and Ping,  where young ins', and long before they were known as the Urban Hounds.  They lived in Manhattan

and they  had a toy, actually lots of toys, but one particularly cool and wonderful toy: A School Bus.

 The charm of the toy was that when you squeezed it, the bus horn honked, the kids scream, and the bus driver yelled "Hey you kids, sit down back there!"  That noise fulled our upper east side apartment for several years.  Then before we moved to our new home in Jersey City, the bus either got lost or broke.   Since then there have been many other toys, but none quite like the bus.

I have searched high and low for a new bus toy for my babies but to no avail.  Then a few weeks ago I tried searching for it again online and magically found it and ordered immediately.   

The bus arrived and it didn't take long at all for the hounds, old and young,  to begin enjoying it again.

  6. That's so cool! Some toys will always stand out forever. Ours would be an orange squeaker ball that all of them wanted to tear apart but no one was still able to do so. It's so sturdy but soft that even the smallest pressure can make it squeak.

    Huggies and Cheese,

  11. That's awesome that you brought back your pups favorite toy. It sounds like a good one. I just wish my boys wouldn't destroy their plush toys in a matter of minutes.

    Happy Monday!

  16. Wow that was an impressive find! Whenever my 'rents find a toy that I like they say they go back and buy like 3 more, just in case the first one gets lost or disintegrates. Don't tell them but I know where they hide them! Hee hee!

    -Love,
    Sid.
