Does your feret chew the LEGO or just carry it around.

          My Ferret (Bananna) doesn't really eat the lego but all the carrying
away he does with them inevitably leads to lots of tiny little teeth marks on
the pieces, especially the soft pieces like tires.  He has also ruined some
axles and bushings while trying to get tires off of vehicles (which he is very
good at).  Ive caught him trying to pull my super under the futon.  That car
is about 5 times bigger than Banana. :)

PS If you would like to see who Puppykong go to
http://cmasi.chem.tulane.edu/~lego/trains/Engine%20Gallery/engine_gallery.htm


and scroll down to the last trolley and the first blue diesel electric and you
will find a link to a picture of Puppykong.

          Puppykong looks cool.  I can just imagine him with the metroliner in
his mouth!  What a picture it would have made, great story!

My dogs like to watch the trains go by. Sometimes they participate in the train play. The older dog, Bailey (derived from Bailey Island, Maine), is refered to as Dogzilla, and the younger dog, Bourbon (derived from Bourbon Street, New Orleans), is (...) (26 years ago, 17-May-99, to lugnet.general)
