Maya and Scooter LOVE the Beanie Bones (made by Ty....as in Beanie Babies). Maya carries hers EVERYWHERE! It has a squeaker and some crinkly material inside. They used-to make a 5" one.....but the smallest they make now is a 7". Scooter (now 9 years old) just rests his nose on his Beanie Bone. This is the last place that I purchased them from:

Sometimes you can find them at PetSmart or Petco. Maya has had hers for 3 years now and does not have a single hole in it. It is very durable.....I wash it in the washing machine and dry in the dryer once a week, and Maya always has it in her mouth. I have never bought a toy (that they like) that has lasted this long. Sometimes if her Beanie Bone is in the wash, Maya will search the entire house looking for that thing. It's kind-of funny to watch.....it's like she is on mission!
