Elephants Never Forget

First it was the right ear, then the left.

Then the tip of the tail, the head...bits of fluffy matter strewn about. It was sad to watch him be tortured so, but he endured. For weeks, Dash slowly eviscerated his toy elephant. His favorite toy, elephant was with him when he came to us. We played with it all the time, getting Dash comfortable with our home.

But it's time was short. The end drew nigh...

Then he did the unthinkable...


unceremoniously removed elephant's heart...



the squeaker.



It was horrible. Inna cried.

Elephant was buried in a white shroud and laid to rest in the stainless steel receptacle in the kitchen. But elephant will not forget. Elephants never forget.

Well, I guess it's all part of the circle of life...now, he's on to a little bear named Hope.
