[nagdu] toys

[Julie J.]

I have one of those Wal-Mart pigs too!  It's the only Wal-Mart toy they 
didn't destroy.  I bought one of the Kong squeak toys a couple of weeks ago. 
I thought it was going to work out, but nope.  Jetta ended up destroying it 
in three days, I think.  At $11, three days is not long enough.

I still like the JW Pet Cuz and Ruffians.  The original Kongs have done well 
here.  The Monster Mouth is still holding up extremely well.  We also have 
the Invincible Chain toy.  The middle ring gets chewed up promptly, but the 
outer two rings stay together for years.  They are probably 6 inches across, 
so plenty big enough to be played with even though they aren't chained 
together anymore.

Monty has calmed down a lot on his chewing.  He can have tennis balls and 
stuffed toys, but rarely gets them because Jetta chews too hard to have 
those things.  since they usually play with toys together the toys have to 
work for all of them.

Hi,
My boy is rather spoiled, and gets bored rather easil, so he has a ton
of toys. The Seeing Eye gave us a Kong and a nyla bone. Since then, I
have collected a bunch of Kong speak toys, which have squeakers that
cannot be ingested. Certainly, if your dog is a strong enough chwer,
he will pull the toy apart, but I've found that Dallas cannot do this.
I have several of the KOng squeeze toys: a ring, a bone, a bowling
pin, and a stick. He also has a tug toy, a Kong Wubba, two Nerf
footballs, and an off brand pig that I bought at walmart for five
bucks. I'm interested in what others have found.
