My Greyhounds are relatively gentle with their toys and both have a favorite that absolutely has to come on with them on every car ride. No Exceptions!
Every stuffed dog toy I bring home has the stuffing pulled out and the squeaker fished out and used as dog chewing gum within an hour. I've been thinking about stuffing and adding a squeaker inside a section of fire hose and sewing them up with a heavy cord.
Nokta FoRs Gold, a Gold Cube, 2 Keene Sluices and Lord only knows how many pans....not to mention a load of other gear my wife still doesn't know about!
Around here we call them 5 minute toys. My labby is practicing surgery. In under 10 minutes she can remove the squeeker and you really need to look to find the hole in the seam.
BTW - Instead of going to the pet store to buy those for $4.99ea go to the 99 cent store & buy the same exact toy for 99 cents. The look of utter amazement on their faces when you dump a whole sack on the ground is priceless! Almost as good as the is this a trick are these really all mine?
It is so much easier than having just one as they keep each other company when we are out.
Each new dog gets a brand new toy and they seem to always cherish that one the most. They’ll literally remove every toy from the big basket until they find theirs.
Heidi's favorite toy is a hard plastic 6" ball, with a noise-maker inside. She can only grip it by using the depressions in the sides. That ball endlessly fascinates her.
