Food or Toy? Toy or Food?

We had some very rubbery calamari for dinner tonight.  I gave Pippin a piece.  She carried it around for 15 minutes.  She'd run outside with it, then run back in, drop it on the floor, look at it and then pick it up again and repeat the running outside.  Finally, she had the breading off, which I assume she ate, but still the little tentacle survived.  She'd come around the corner, stop and looked at me with about two inches of it hanging out of the side of her mouth.  She's still running around with it, tossing it in the air and chasing it.  Who knew squid could be so entertaining for our dog.
