Lab makes short work of Michael Vick toy

IMG_0495.jpg This will be the last entry about my Michael Vick dog chew toy.

Magerk has seen to that.

Last week, you may recall (and if you don't, click here) I donated the Official Michael Vick Dog Chew Toy I received in the mail from the manufacturer to a group trying to start a dog park in Locust Point.

The raffle winners, Jason Powell and Ann Marie Morhiser, took it home and gave it to their Labrador, Magerk, a 1 1/2-year old Labrador the engaged couple adopted from Maryland Lab Rescue and named after the Federal Hill bar in which they met.

Here's a report from Ann Marie, who works as fifth-grade teacher in Ellicott City:

"She loves the toy and carries it (now just the head) around with her all the time. She even sleeps with it!

"Magerk got the toy last Thursday and each day she destroyed a little bit more. First it was one leg, then the next, and then his torso. All that is left is his head and shoulders. She is still chipping away at it but is struggling to keep her grip as the toy has decreased in size.

"She never ate the pieces, she just spit them on the floor. For the past week we have been picking up tiny remains of the convict. For Magerk, this toy lasted roughly the same amount of time as the rest of her toys. She loves to chew (luckily for us she only chews her toys!)"
