Mike's snaps forward latching onto the toy and begins
pulling with all his might, shaking his head and
playfully growling as he does so.

Tommy scratches his chin absent mindedly, thinking. 
"A couple of the butcher shops open early during the
week and on Saturday, but not Sunday.  I might be able
to get you some.  An artist who likes to use unusual
ingrediants in his paints sometimes uses blood, and I
know he's got some now.  I might be able to get him to
share some.

"If you'll excuse me a moment to make a call, I'll be
right back."
