In our house, that's called "surgery." Ozzie, who is now 10.5 years, yes
years, still regularly makes amputees out of his toys!
(They collect in a drawer if they're worth salvaging, and at some point are sewn together as good as can be managed.)
As a pup, he started out by chewing all the eyes out of his plush toys, except for an elephant that he initially slept with every night. Since then, he has perfected the art of breaking the squeakers and sound discs inside animated toys. (For some reason, the more expensive the toy, the easier it is to break. Only recently did he manage to kill a set of noise-making plush animals that cost $1 each at Target that we've had for at least three years!)
At Christmas, we got him one of those pull-apart toys, primarily because it's a mailman and he HATES the live version. Within an hour of getting it, he not only had the three pieces separated, he had managed to chew off a piece or two of the squiggly hair on its head!!! I had to blunt the nubs with scissors.
He still persists in pulling the pieces apart. One of my favorite sights -- and I have got to get a photo of this -- is him running through the house with the headless mailman!
