there's something about rubber...

i love to chew on rubbery things. the "cool feet" for the laptop (exhibits 1 & 2), the tips of mommy's hemp sneakers (exhibit 3), the outside of power cords, and even the buttons off the remote controls. oh yes, one of daddy's favorites, we like to chew the buttons on any remote control (exhibits 4 & 5), whether it be a remote for the TV, DVR, PS3, stereo, cable...it matters not--we don't discriminate! we do, however, make certain that the buttons maintain their functionality; we're not barbarians, after all! mommy has a great sense of humor about the rubber stuff, especially the remotes; daddy, on the other paw, was soooooooo pissed the first time he saw the chewed up remote that i actually mistook him for a rabid 'coon! he was all foaming at the mouth and everything!! mommy tends to forget that we love the rubber buttons, 'cause she will still leave a remote on the floor every once in a while....yummy!

i guess we like plastic, too. mommy put down this green plastic mat that came with our play-pens (in our house they're just used as gates to keep us out of hard-to-reach places). i guess their purpose is to make for easier clean-up/protect floors, but we just chew on ours. it isn't as though our poop is messy. jeesh!!

mom's not sure if we just chew on these things or if we actually ingest, as i don't usually leave any residue of what i've chewed away... she's thinking there'd be some bits of rubber on the ground, but she doesn't find any.... i guess i must be eating it. well, i ain't dead yet, right?!

one of us chewed on the "cool feet" that keep the laptop elevated (exhibits 1 & 2)....

the hemp shoes....before they were chewed. mmmm, hemp! too bad i was only into the rubber.... (exhibit 3)

the remote exhibit...can you tell which buttons we chewed off?? mommy altered the photos to highlight the destruction; she also had to color the pause button with a Sharpie. (exhibits 4 & 5)
