#I'll give you a hint: this week's victim is a christmas kitty stuffy that's twice Fae's size

[doberbutts]

Silly dog things:

Sometimes (frequently) Fae will start furiously humping one of the big dog toys. Usually one of the ones that's bigger than she is. She'll continue to do this obsessively for a week or so and then stop for a while.

Sushi is not a dog that plays with dog toys unless it is to entice someone to play with her, usually another dog. This also has the side effect of her seeing other dogs playing with dog toys and having the bright idea that another dog playing with a toy by themselves of course must want to play with the toy with her.

So Sushi spots Fae "playing" with the toys she's humping and starts bouncing and playbowing at her to entice her to play. Fae does not want to share her latest hump victim so she is usually standing over said toy growling at Sushi. At some point Fae will get fed up with this and grab the toy to move it somewhere that Sushi cannot reach, which is her typical go-to when her "fuck off" resource guarding asshole behaviors are being ignored by the other dogs as my dogs learn from a young age that if you want to keep it you have to move to an area where only you are allowed to be.

This makes Sushi go "oh! it is time for tug! I love to play tug with my friends!" so she also will grab the toy if she can reach it before Fae completes her movement to an area that Sushi cannot squish herself into.

Now. The unfortunate part is that Fae, despite what she thinks, is significantly smaller than Sushi.

So the act of Sushi grabbing the toy Fae is holding on to in order to play tug usually results in Fae flying.

This situation happens... not infrequently. And I don't know that either of them really learns anything every time it happens, outside of that Sushi can and will eventually yeet a chihuahua through the air completely by accident.
