Well, this particular dodo bird first arrived in our household for Christmas of 2016, so it survived here for over 2 1/2 years. He is seen in our Gift Guide for that year, and then in our post “Christmas Fun!“. The photos below, from that post, show Luke with the bird and then his angel sister Sheba defending the bird from him!
The next appearance it made was the following spring when angel beagle Cricket dragged him out for some fun.
He was seen from time to time since then, but only on occasion. Without Sheba around to protect him anymore, however, Luke finally did him in.
“Why do I always get blamed for these things?”
“I will have you know that it was humans, not animals, who were responsible for the extinction of the real dodo bird!! I read on Wikipedia that they hunted it, exposed it to invasive species, and destroyed its habitat. Dogs would never do something like that!”
Well, I guess he told us, now, didn’t he? 🙂
Hehehe I can’t believe it lasted that long. Rip birdie.
It definitely exceeded its life expectancy!!
Rest in Peace (pieces) Dodo!
Heeheehee….pieces….good one, Ellen!!
We’re surprised the Dodo lasted this long!
So is the Momz!! It’s only because I have SOOOO many toys, so she says.
Love, Luke
RIP Dodo bird! Yay for long lasting toy life! LOL! 😀
He actually lived a good, long life for a toy around here!! 🙂
Good come back Luke!! LOL!

Someone had to get this story straight! 🙂
Love, Luke
Luke looks completely innocent to me! I’m thinking it was a jealous guinea!
Yes, blame it on the guineas!! They want to be the center of attention around here!
Thank you.
xoxo, Luke
Take heart, Luke. Elsa’s going on strike for being blamed for various carnage happenings. It’s just not fair she says.
At least you had a good run with Mr. Dodo.
High five, Elsa!! I know you are innocent as well. 🙂
Love, Luke
Great job. That’s what you’re supposed to do with dodo birds. Pups never do anything bad. Never.
Have a woof woof day and weekend, Luke. My best to your mom. ♥
Yes! You totally get it. Thank you, Sandee.
xoxo, Luke
Aw, poor Dodo bird…he got the stuffing tugged out of him. 😢
Happens a lot around here. Better the stuffed than the real birds!!
You are a very wise destuffer Luke!
It’s an art, you know. 🙂
yes … now we have da evidence… LOL
I knew I should have eaten it!! But that makes the Momz even more upset!
Woofs, Luke
Oh dear. Thankfully, Bailie seems to have finally outgrown her shredding phase. Now all our toys are safe again. Your Dodo bird was super cute, sadly, was is the key word.
He’d been around for quite a while! Others don’t get that luxury. LOL. It doesn’t happen as often as it used to. Gosh, our Sheba never outgrew it! She was a bad influence on poor Luke. 🙂
Poor Mr Dodo. Maybe you’ll get another one for Christmas this year, Luke.
Maybe!! I bet the Momz will be on the hunt for one!!
