Hello, we have no hands that’s why okay? Yes, everything has to go in our mouth because unlike our two-legged “friends” we can’t grasp, turn or point like Y-O-U. We would love to play with our hands like you do but we don’t have them for paws don’t count literally. Have you ever tried counting numbers on your toes or grabbing a ball with your pinky toe. Do you get the point or do I have to growl it out to Y-O-U? So the next time you say take that out of your mouth consider really where else I could put it.
