My dog had a stuffed bunny. I called it his "Honey Bunny". When company would come over, he would run to his toy box, drag his "Honey Bunny" out to the middle of the living room floor, and go to town. It was funny until he did it when the local pastor stopped by for a visit. LOL!
my dog has a stuffed bear for the same purpose. when he starts, i tell him to PLEASE take the thing in his room, why he needs to be an exhibitionist about it, is beyond me!
Oh dear...
I had a former supervisor whose pug used to do that. I remember one year when he and his wife hosted a big, fairly elaborate Christmas party. Everyone was sitting in the living room listening to Christmas music and attempting small talk when here came Widget with her bear, dropped it in the very center of the livingroom, did a quick walk around to make sure everyone was paying attention, and then she started giving the bear some pretty hot and heavy lovin'. Heh...
She got banished to another room, but it did kinda break the ice...
