Swirl’s Chewed Things: The Economy
Hello.
I am Swirl.
I am being called money hungry. Maybe because I ate sixty dollars, more or less, last night. I ate part of another twenty, but I was too tired and full to finish it. It took a long time to get all those bills out of the wallet.

Bad Dog!!

It’s actually his second wallet. He ate a credit card and driver’s license AND cash with the first. 🙁
Oh my! Clearly it’s getting hard to keep the list straight as it grows.
Oh, Swirl. Maybe you should stick to crayons. That’s what my lab used to eat. The bonus=vivid stool colors!
It’d be great if his chewed things have a theme – but his only theme is complete randomness. He ate one of my Outlander socks last week. Big on newspaper, bills, handles of screw drivers……
