Metal article or bust

Well, I thougt Stir and I were on the road to articles...NO LUCK! Again, he promptly decided no go on taking the metal article. So, back tracking we are going. I now have the article on a leash, wiggling the article about on the floor so Stir will take it. We've made a little progress, as he is at least taking the article and doing some tugging. :) We'll continue our progress..
