Mew should now have some cute toys that look like these, and it shouldn't take more than an hour to make them all.
Mew may be wondering why the P.A. didn't glue things on ... well, she said, and I quote.
"Even though the glue I use is non-toxic, I prefer to sew the smaller items like eyes, fangs and pom poms on by hand as there is less chance of them becoming detached due to vigorous play - I also wouldn't recommend using those plastic stick-on boggle eyes or the like as they could come off and be a choking hazard. I also recommend that you do a toy check regularly and throw away anything that is coming apart, is fraying or has any loose components."
Ohhh, that was good advice from the P.A. - Thank mew! MOL
Now the really fun part...
In The BBHQ Testing Lab
Smooch did get all of the toys while I went and had a little snack... but then I came back and ruined everything! MOL
As mew can see, we were best purrleased with the new toys. We have more videos, but this post is long enough! MOL
And that epic furiends furry sadly brings us to the end of our first Halloween Rerun post. We do hope mew liked it, and we'll be back on Wednesday with more Midweek News!
Until then....
