Here are pictures of Abby (CH Thornapple Pure Poison) and her absolute favorite toy....her strawberry! We got it for her last week at an AKC agility and conformation trial, and she carries it around everywhere! It is almost as big as she is, but the bigger the toy, the more she loves them! It honks like a goose and has a bunch of squeakers in it too! She is too cute for words. Silly Abby! Shari
