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.
That's so sweet, love the photos, and the devotion to finding that special toy again, we can relate to that kind of love!!
ReplyDeleteThat bus is so cool! I can't believe you found one again! :)
ReplyDeletethat is an awesome bus!! I didn't know you lived IN NYC before. I am doing a little post about Manhattan dogs in a few days too. Happy monday!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun with one 'ickle school bus! some super cute photos here! awwwwww! Love and licks from Frank xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteThat bus toy sounds awesome, and it looks like they are all really enjoying taking turns playing it. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteThat'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.

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.

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!
ReplyDelete-Love,
Sid.
