[NAGDU] Soft toys for hard chewers

[Cindy Ray]

The tires are really cool. Rickey has a couple of those, and he hasn’t killed them yet. He has teething keys, too, but they may be too young for Igloo. I don’t know if it was you who told us about Dog Go Nuts, and I don’t even know if they still exist, but they have sticks and ring things and maybe even balls. If the dog damages them so that the red shows in them, you are guaranteed new ones free. I haven’t checked to see if this is still an option.
