| Levi's favorite toys are Skinneez, his Kong, and rope bones. He loves stuffed plush toys as well...or anything with a squeaker really, but I prefer to give him the Skinneez as he absolutely DESTROYS his plush toys. The Skinnez are pretty durable and I don't have to worry about him eating the nasty stuffing. He also LOVES to chew on bully sticks.

I need to look into these skinneez things! Madison has 1 toy A really tough rubber bone (which I can't find anywhere anymore) She has had it about a yr, and just recently broke the squeaker. I stopped wasting money on toys for her long ago, because she destroys everything within minutes! I want her to have toys so bad, just can't find anything that will be suitable for her.

| Any type of interactive toy will keep them busy and make them think. I know for Poochieheaven, the Nina Ottosson toys are very popular. There are also other brands that make interactive dog toys- you can try a google search as well. |

| Spike's favorites are his everlasting treat ball, and an empty water bottle (like a 500 mL bottle of Evian), with some kibble in it. He bats the bottle around to get the kibble out, and it keeps him busy for hours. It took him a while to get the hang of it, and now he's obsessed. He also like his kong. I put some kibble in it, then plug the hole with a bit of wet food and freeze it. That usually keeps him busy until he gets all the kibble out! I have links to some great toys on my website, including the Nina Ottosson ones. Everything For Your Yorkie

| Cerise loves very small stuffed squeaky toys. I think it's the size and the squeak. She even squeaks them herself and we play fetch with them for hours She has a basket from Pottery Barn Kids filled with small stuffed animals and when I come home from work her favorites are spread out all over the house. I can't always find nice ones for dogs so I started buying the ones made for human babies Oh, I did the same thing with barrettes.

| I love the everlasting treat balls and the fire hydrant they make i fill them with kibble and kong spray cheese they love it i also love the kong goodie ship but they stopped making them. Gatsby loves his Kong stuffed duck it has no stuffing except for the head and its body is a squeaker. however if i want them occupied for hours i just fill a good solid beef bone (i get from the butcher cleaned and meat free but not boiled) and i fill it with sun nut butter (like peanut butter but im im allergic to peanut butter so i use this instead) bits of chopped carrots and a few slivers of cheese they will lick and gnaw at that for hours and when im done they are done i just pick them up run hot water over them wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer to avoid bacteria growth

| My two are addicted to the skineez products right now. Levi likes the traditional kind and Lily loves the one you put the water bottle in.

| My dog likes anything that squeaks and anything I can throw for him. I took an old nylon sock, tied it in a knot and throw it down the hall for him. I think he could do this for hours on end. He loves his kong too, for the same reason. |

| Kong Wubba! I would encourage you to try a Kong Wubba. It's super sturdy and squeaks. Other interactive toys my dogs like are: Busy Buddy Bones (the gnawhide refills are reasonably priced) Busy Buddy Twist n Treat Kongs - I buy the kong inserts, or put pretty much any little treat in there that will fit and they work to get it out. Kong Wubbas - they squeak and are DURABLE...we play tug of war with that toy too Everlasting Treat Balls (the refills are pretty expensive though) We also love ropes to play tug of war but I don't leave those out when we're not home. Good luck in your search!

| I think this is similar to Skinneeez. Amazon.com: Crazy Critters Toy Fox: Kitchen &... I saw one at Walmart and bought it and my boys have not put it down since. No stuffing, so no mess and it has a squeaker at both ends. It's fairly durable. It's in the As Seen On TV section at Walmart. Definitely give it a shot.
