Cartoons really do imitate life

Another thing on the toys ... Nina gave us a squeaky toy at class Saturday -- clearly a highly-destructible toy! But we decided, what the heck, we'd let him play with it under close supervision and time its lifespan.

It only took Murphy 14 minutes to get a puncture and get the destruction going (at which point we immediately took it away from him!), but they were 14 minutes of sheer doggy ecstasy.
