Well I haven't ever seen them at my Petsmart either - go figure!!

She has had a bacterial infection twice within 2 months. She has had a treat in the afternoon of one teas. of cottage cheese with sugar free apple sauce for several months. They don't know what is causing the infection but have too quit the cottage cheese, etc. and stick to her Life Abundance, boiled skinless chicken breast and rice. If she gets the infection again, they will do liver and other tests.

Oh my goodness, WOW!!!

It really does SOUND like she is quite the chewer!! You probably wouldn't believe it if I told you, but I have never ever had to throw a toy out, and I have had my male Yorkie for 2 years now just about...so that should tell ya something LOL.

Actually though, now that I think of it...I did throw ONE away (and that is ONE out of I don't know HOW many toys we have around here...TONS lol) - but I have figured that-that particular toy just wasn't made all that well because even though my babies both loved it, they EACH destroyed one within - LITERALLY - seconds. I bought one, they destroyed it, bought another one a month or so later and they destroyed that one also, so I just don't think that toy was well made

ANYWAY - I am sorry to hear that your baby has had an infection

The poor thing!! I sure hope she doesn't get one again, but if she does I would definitely have the tests done. I will say a little prayer for her just in case - I sure hope it isn't anything serious!

Well, we got the Hide a Squirrel in a few days ago

It is so cute!! I took it out of the box just to peek at it, and check out the size, but of course Stedman can't see it until either Valentines Day, or his Birthday (don't know which it's for yet LOL)

Granted this is our first "Hide a Toy" - so I can't really compare sizes, but I can't imagine that there would be one smaller than this. It is the PERFECT size for us though. It's exactly what I wanted

It is not by any means too small, and no where near too big - it is just PERFECT!

I tried to look for a "size name" on the box...but it didn't say anything. So I'm guessing that this is the smallest one they make, but I am so happy with it, and the size

I think Stedman is going to just LOVE it!

I can't wait to see him play with the thing and I'm sure you will be seeing pictures of him "opening" it either on Valentines Day, or his Birthday, which is also next month

Thank you to everyone who helped me with this darn toy, LOL...I had no idea what I was doing when buying one of these things, but am so happy that I got him one, it is just too cute!

I am so fed up with trying to find him cute toys here (I found ONE really cute one today - this precious little turtle - but that was it!) - so, I have decided to just say to heck with it and I am ordering him some online

I want to get him one of the Hide A Squirrel toys, but I have a question. I was going to get him the SMALL one (he likes to be able to carry things around in his mouth so that he can run away with it because little sissy steals toys LOL) - anyway....do any of you have the SMALL one? Is it super super tiny?? I don't want it to be TOO tiny...but small enough if that makes any sense

As soon as I find out if this size is ok, I will go and order it for my boy

Tricksie ate it in 10 min.

Naughty little Tricksie!!

I think Stedman will be ok with it...he is not hard on toys at all, in fact I still have every single toy that I have ever bought him (except ONE), and he is almost 2 years old

anthroboi · 01-29-2008, 03:01 PM

We just got ours too and Zoë freakin' loves it! She pulled out all the squirrels on her owna dn she just carries the trunk all over the place. She's already got her head caught in it LOL. The funny thing is that she normally doesn't play with toys but she is carrying this thing everywhere. I would highly recommend it!

Marcel LOVES his squirrels - as individuals and when they're in the trunk as a fam. The Floop could care less about them. LOL.

He will just sit sometimes w/ a little squirrel in his mouth and squeak it over and over and over - it is so dang cute. He "gets" the game too - and will work to get each squirrel out of the trunk and then prance around first w/ the trunk, then with a squirrel.

lookies

Odie did that too and I thought I'd never stop laughing. When he first got it he was "busy" for a good 3 hours.

yoshi is about 3 lbs and he receiive a hide a squirel this last Ge...he loves it...

lilfoot · 02-06-2008, 06:07 AM

Zoe recieved hers last week for her birthday and kinda likes it unfortunately Lizzie is a fanatic about it....she just goes freakin' crazy when she sees it so Zoe doesn't get much play time with it. The dogs actually got into a snarlin' fight last night with it...i guess its time to get another one....even though I don't think that will help because Lizzie has to have everything that Zoe has...
