The Sloth Without A Face

Barley, a dog, relaxes on a futon with Tico, a dog toy, once a sloth and now something lesser.

Tico is another of Barley’s long-time toys and he, too, is a victim of Barley’s literal defacement. I suspect she has removed the face specifically because Fluff and Tuff, the company responsible, uses stitching instead of plastic for features like eyes and these slightly denser parts of the toy are especially pleasant to chew. Tico’s claws were also immediately excised by steady application of chomp, I imagine for the same reason.
