To be precise, I should say that Harley likes to chew hard-boiled eggs into tiny little pieces and drop those pieces into the sink. It's a very good game. But he also likes to eat egg, so this is a fine toy and snack wrapped up in one.

You may have noticed that there's something different about the kitchen faucet in this picture. In fact, it's a different faucet. Click here to pop up a photo of the old faucet.

As I predicted in May, the aerator was the next casualty after Harley pulled out the "Kohler" button. What I didn't expect was that he'd manage to nick the o-ring (or bearing washer, or whatever it was). Suddenly, the faucet was leaking, and after a discussion with the friendly man at the Big Box store, we decided trying to find replacement parts for a 15-year-old faucet was probably more trouble than it was worth. So here we are with a brand-new Moen faucet, "Moen" plug button (made of plastic, this time) already torn out and squished a little in Harley's Powerful Beak of Biting.

So far, the new aerator is intact (not for lack of trying), and there are no leaks. And I think Harley likes the rounded spout better than the old, squarish one. We'll see how long it lasts.

It's certainly a good perch for eating eggs.
