Uni does the same thing! Whenever we come back from the store with ANY kind of bag, she gets up on her back legs and jumps trying to see inside. She gets a bit upset when there's nothing for her.

Uni's got lots of BoBo's. The original cream one, a mini pink one, a mummy one, a hawaii one, and pirate one. The squeakers always break on them but she still likes them.

Guess I'm not the only one who can't resist buying another toy or chew for my baby. Caylee is 9 mo and she has a small box full of her toys. But her favorite is the little carrot -- I tied it to a string and she loves chasing it; she has already worn out two (but I have two more in reserve). Next is her "squeakie toy" (little frog that the breeder gave us). She tolerates the rest that I buy (probably to make Mommie happy), but those two are her absolute favorites. Seems like we all have a lot in common when it comes to our little Yorkies!

My Jack has one except we refer to it as "Winnie Dog". He loves his Winnie dog and he will go into his toy box to pick it out and will toss it in front of me to get my attention. It's the cutest thing! He has so many toys and I can't help but pick him out a new one every time we go into petsmart! Spoiled little thing lol.

My question is: How many toys do your furbabies have??

Also, does anyone else have the BoBo toy from the Petsmart commercials? I finally broke down and bought her one thinking it would be a waste. Nope! She carried it around just like in the commercial! What is it about these things that our babies love? Anyone else have one??

The Bobo toy is also called a loofa dog, loofa toy, etc... I thought all dogs had one! All of mine do and then we started getting the specialized ones -- gotta have one with a baseball hat, a football helmet, holiday ones, then we even have a Navy Goat one!

How many toys??? Inside or outside? I could not begin to count, really. There is a wheelbarrow outside full of toys. I gather them all up before I mow and the dogs scatter them out during the rest of the week. I try to keep most of the plush ones inside. Inside we have a huge basket full in the den and another the living room, plus about a dozen or so loose toys scattered about the house (I won't count the ones hidden under furniture and sometimes in my bed! If they were all in better condition, I could start a toy store! I have more variety than most pet shops. I have a box in the closet of new toys. If we are having company, I can move the everyday toys out and give them a couple of new ones to keep them occupied and not wondering where the others are. It is really sickening.

I can't help it! The kids need their toys!

FlDebra · 06-14-2009, 10:43 PM

I just read through all the other posts -- I had to laugh because several said their dogs all want to look through the sacks when folks come home from shopping. That is how mine are too. They really look disappointed when there is nothing for them. They like variety too!
We sometimes go so far as to grab a treat and pretend we got it from the bag so they don't know we didn't bring them something. They probably are thinking, "Who does she think she is fooling with that treat gag?"

Captain Noonie -- where did you get the pirate? We'd really like to add that one to the collection?

Lucia · 06-15-2009, 12:46 AM

Yep, hundreds of toys here too! Their favourites at the moment are the little squeakers and the plush shoe that Twinkle got for the GE. Wicket used to love chewing on this rubber tyre toy that belongs to our big dog, he got his head stuck in it the other day and I think it put him off because he's not been near it since!

Every so often one of them will claim one of the kids toys as their own, and I'm always finding socks in their toy pile too!

How cute! We should start a collection and see if they sell regional ones! I know here on the beach it is really easy to find one with a bikini, I wonder if there are others elsewhere. They also have graduation loofas, chef loofas, and wedding loofas. How cute would that have been at our wedding!

Bonnie Blue · 06-15-2009, 07:59 AM

Buster and Teddy get a new toy just about every week. They just love them. All kinds including cat toys. I just watch out for the ones with the tiny little bells, but other than that, yeah they love the cat toys as well.

jeanm1963 · 06-15-2009, 08:12 AM

Laci has a ton of toys way to many to count actually but I wanted to warn you about that bobo toy, I have two of them and the little ears come off easily and I have found them both in Lacis mouth.. she likes to shake and shake her toy and they have become detached and I have found them in her mouth... scary be very careful to watch if they come loose...

xlinds15x · 06-18-2009, 07:11 AM

I heard that dogs LOVE the bobo toys ! I cant seem to find one at a decent length though (I can only find the ones that are over a foot long). I'm going to continue my search though! I bet little louis would love one of those!

Bizzymammabee · 06-18-2009, 07:23 AM

Toby and Zoey have about 20 between the two of them. I have a little basket in the room that they can get their stuff when they want to play with something. I won't buy more than that because I will have crazy fits trying to figure out where to keep it all. So when they abuse something too much and it looks like it's time for the trash I throw it out and replace it with something new.

You can add up toys fast as their little birthday's, easter, halloween, xmas, etc are all good reasons to get them a little something.

Mine love the little Bobo. Not sure what it is about that dog but they will fight over it.

Anywhere that sells them have them in a variety of sizes. I have small, medium and large ones. They even have them in super duper sized ones for the big dogs.

Honey Bears Mom · 06-18-2009, 09:50 AM

Honey Bear is super spoiled!!! She has a basket full of toys...not sure how many. She has taken over all the cat toys I bought for my boys. The boys never showed much interest in their toys anyway, except for one little stuffed skunk that Joey likes and she has taken it over! The cutest thing she does is take every toy into her tent! The tent gets so full she can hardly fit into it! It is so hard not to buy her something everytime I go to the petshop!!!

Do you have a Pet Smart? They sell Bobo's in all different lengths, colors, prints and material. Sophie has one that was passed down from my last kitten. yeah...I know...I bought my kitten a Bobo. Long story I'll share on a cat forum somewhere. LOL! Sophie has many toys and HAD many toys. She is in a destructive mode the last few weeks. Currently I have a monkey with no legs, a ostrich with no head, a lion with no eyes, a squirrel w/half it's fur missing, two fully embodied ostrich and a squid with all it's tentacles. I don't know what her trouble is lately but she is destroying all her toys!

rayedelsol · 06-18-2009, 02:25 PM

Just found a Bobo that is curved, so I can put it around her neck or around my ankle and she has a fit. She loves it.

We also had to buy some more chew toys because she is losing her baby teeth. She looks so pathetic with no teeth!
