[NAGDU] Soft toys for hard chewers

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Richard.
On your suggestion, I looked at the Kong page.  I saw bones, and I also
saw the Kong tires.  The tire might be good.  It might give him chewing
satisfaction, while not giving him the same leverage as a bone does. 
We'll be heading to PetSmart sometime, so I hope I'll be able to see both
things there.  Otherwise I'll have to buy online and see how it works out.
Thanks for the idea.

My friend also suggested look at the Playology brand.  She thinks their
"brain" toy might suit.  Haven't looked yet.
