ImageUploadedByTortForum1392924844.628329.jpg I took Sully to the park today...First day of really nice weather. What does he do straightaway? Before I can blink an eye he chomps on an old filter of a smoke. Omg. Ever tried getting something out of a sulcata mouth? We played tug-o-war and I broke half of it off (he ended up getting some cotton fibers) but he stubbornly refused to come back out of his shell until he had finished the rest.

He must have (in my Momma brain) known I was ticked because he started to walk away... With his orange backpack he resembled a disgruntled six year old stomping off to "run away".

The next couple hours, while still outside, he is confined to a shopping basket with some new dandelions. (Yeh, we son't give ice cream to kids while they are in time out, but I am rationalizing his sulcata brain doesn't know that.)

Well this isn't a "real" park, which is why I figured it would be safer. Obviously not.

Mine would find cig filters in my yard, and we don't smoke. It could happen anywhere....

I love the back pack. So cute. Did you make it or buy it from the doggie area of a pet store?
Next time you take him out, just scope the area before letting him loose. Yes, that kind of stuff can be found anyplace.
