Polly

My big, brave blue cattle dog has a mortal fear of the toaster. I always wondered why she didn't like coming inside in the mornings and, when she did, she hid under the computer in the office.

Polly will guard the house and attack any monster that invades, but the soft "ka-chunk" of toast popping leaves her a shivering wreck.

Toys

This looks like fun: a hovercraft that is also a ground-effects aircraft. I know hovercraft are also GEVs, but they are limited by their cushion height.
