Considering how much Sidney loves going after my shoes and laces I thought he would love little toys like that. I got some, gave them to him and experienced total chaos. Terrified of them. And usually he is very bold with new toys. Goes right after them but not this time. There just is no telling with what goes on in those little birdie brains!
I got it for the same reasons you said, James. Sammie is constantly chewing the laces. She plays with the shoe as long as I hold her. Anywhere else she attacks it like she thinks it's going to get her. Sennies are funny birds.
