Sounds all too familiar. My Tibbe, a 7 lb. hulk, doesn't tear up his toys or shred anything - he's more about things I'm doing or we're doing together, not much into toys that aren't the interactive type, where he has to solve the puzzle to get a treat or make it squeak or whatever. So unlike my late Jilly. Tiny, delicate little 3 lb. runt-of-the-litter, Jilly, used to tear up every toy she had, whatever it was made of. If it could be destroyed, her tiny teeth eventually did it & she was left with shreds or pieces and the squeaker or the stuffing that she wasn't that interested in but still acting SO satisfied with her 'work'. Jilly would chew on a chewie right straight through, until it was gnawed away, swallowed up and gone, if I forgot and left one lying about when I wasn't here, so I immediately learned not to do that a second time! She made her mouth raw chewing one completely up the first time I left her with it. She had a kind of dedicated mania to tear up or deconstruct whatever I gave her to play with. She and Tibbe are about as different as night from day.
