"Pooncha"

Elmo has a great time with his pooncha! What's a pooncha, you ask? It's a word I learned from Slavka Bilka, the slovak word for Fido. I love the sound of it and have been calling Elmo's favorite toys pooncha's ever since. 

Juli, his petsitter, gave him this recent pooncha and Elmo is quite attached. He pounces on pooncha the minute he gets a chance after being away. Juli has even brought over another pooncha because Elmo has annihilated the first one, though the first one gets just as much play as the new one.
