canyonwalkerA few days ago I blogged about "Fun with Stuffed Animals": amusing myself— and sometimes my spouse— by posing our stuffed animals and making up stories about what they're doing. The inspirations for that blog were a Treant giving people the finger and a meal for our hawks. When Hawk read that blog she was amused all over again, including some of the links she clicked through which went back many years, such as finding rocks in a Tylenol bottle and "*In this picture the role of my wife is played by one of our stuffed animals, 'Sassy''.
Playing around with stuffed animals is a daily thing. I mean, every day is another opportunity for stuffed animal soap opera. That snake we bought as a treat for Winter? He's already shared it around to curry favor with other hawks in the house. Currently Phoenix has it.
Phoenix is a Folkmanis hand puppet. She's a "clone" of the first hawk we had. Originally these hawks came with a snake. There's a bit of velcro in their beaks to hold onto it. Phoenix came second-hand without a snake. So part of our thinking was to get her another snake. This one's bigger than the original snake, though, so it doesn't stick well in her beak.
Why do I share this? Well, aside from it being amusing, it's also prodded us to buy another hawk. Hawk was so inspired that she went on eBay to see if there's another Folkmanis red-tail listed. She found two and bought one. So soon we'll have another clone. Shh, don't tell Phoenix, she'll think she's being replaced!
