Rusty's Leopard

Some time ago I was at some yard sales and bought a few toys.  One of them was a sleek black leopard, a stuffed animal.  It was sitting upright, like a cat and had a beautiful spangly, sparkly collar and bright button like eyes.  I really liked this little leopard and thought the kids would like him, too, so I put it in the toy box in the living room.

Rusty found it!  The first thing he did was get the collar and eyes.  I was so disappointed.  At first I put it up out of his reach but finally I realized that it was already ruined so I might as well let him play with it.  He is very possessive with it and works at it to get the stuffing out of it.  It's not like turkey stuffing, teehee.  It's some kind of fiber.  Periodically I have to pick up the cottony stuff and throw it away.  I put it where I thought he wouldn't notice it for a while, but he noticed it any way.  He won't have it to play with too much longer but for now, he is having such fun.
