I bought some pricey stuffed toys and my little termite destroyed them all in one night! At $8 - $16 each, I was kinda mad, especially since I had already stitched them up.

The other night, I went to the dollar store to buy clothes pins and I found a fleece frisbee very similar to the pricey one, and they love it! So if they kill it, hey, it was only a buck!

Ramsey loves McDonald happy meal toys, exspecially the little cats and dogs with the big heads. and the anniversary bears that came out he loves those.
I have not had a problem with him chewing the stuffing out of them yet.

Oh yea! Hair scrunchies! Just like Sophie, Bodhi acts so silly. Running back and forth expecting me to chase him. Well, we feign disinterest as we are working on a strong Recall towards Agility training and just plain safety.

Bought replacement squeakers (5 count bag) from PetWhatever. Put one in a sock. Tied a knot. Inserted another. Tied a knot. It became a favorite tug toy.

Thrift store stuffed animals that have well-attached features and can be thrown in the washer/dryer (without fabric softener). Bodhi's favorite is a black "Puppy" that he knows by name.

We'll be playing catch with a baby cloth ball for several throws, then all of a sudden, Bodhi will return with the "Puppy" instead. Very funny!

He likes to play a gentle tug with it, hump it, and snuggle to sleep with it.

We'll stuff it inside a cloth tube with a treat so he can play "Save the Princess".

Gotta love those multi-functional toys!

Hey just bought the holliroller. It seems pretty indestructable. Penny liked it even better when my husband stuffed a mini tennis ball inside. Its so funny to watch her try to get it. Her nose goes way in the holes.

Zack also thinks that everything is a toy. He loves to pull out dirty clothes from the laundry basket and run around with them!

I have several varieties of toys I bought from the pet store. His favorite are the tug toys...specifically the one that has 3 fish and makes noise.

He loves our Beagles dog collar...I think because it makes noise when he runs around with it. (we take BJ's collar off when he's inside)

The tennis ball is always a hit...he fetches it everytime!

The newest toy is a ball that you can put treats in and record your voice. That toy is awesome! He has figured out how to get the treats out by kicking the ball. It's so funny to watch him do that. And when he moves the ball, he can hear my voice! A great toy for when puppy is alone. I can't remember the name but it's a bestseller at Petsmart.com.

A rare moment of stillness:

Be careful with giving them human stuffed animals. The breeder that I got Angel from (RIP) gave us her favorite toy to take home and it was a small human teddybear. We didn't think anything of it until 2 weeks later she managed to pull out one of it's plastic eyes. The back of the eye was a 2 inch long metal screw. I can't even imagine what would have happened to her if she has swallowed that before we saw it.

I agree, Sydney Michelle, about the features of plush toys. I'm the one discreetly yanking on the eyes, ears, and tails in the toy section before I even think about bringing anything home for Bodhi.

If they pass this test, it goes straight into the washer (sans fabric softener) and any little tags are cut off. Bodhi always goes for the tags first.

I found some toys touted as indestructible!

One even has a guarentee by the manufacturer! It's called a Hurley. "Made of Zogoflex" - whatever THAT is.

The other one is called Astro Squeaky Ball. Couldn't Google an image for that one. Couldn't even get a hit for it. Must be new.

Found both of these on a site called SmileyDog.

I just got a toy for Penny which she absolutely loves! I got it in the kids toys at Wal-Mart. Its called nobbly wobbly and it was only .88, its made of rubber that she can't puncture. Its like rubber robes twisted around. It bounces and rolls funny and you can even fit a small treat inside. Its the best thing I have found so far.

My Maltese Tuffy hates anything made of rubber so he always avoids the kongs but my little Yorkie Pixie seems to like them so I like to steer her towards those so they won't fight over toys.

Minnie doesnt really like toys,but Scamp does,his fav is everybodys socks

Blankets,towels,& everything he shouldnt be eating up

Mine use too, but don't really play with them anymore. Now, they'll chew each other to death!
