Or how about those new chip bags that crackle so loud?

Good idea. The onesie's that the babies out grow can work another two ways. Cut the legs off right above the snaps at the crotch to use as a little shirt for the fur-kids, and use the feet for a plastic bottle.

Thank goodness Darwin is okay! This is a good warning.

With my aggressive chewers, I would never give them the bottle without the sock covering it. I also have to check "toys" frequently for any damage.

Each dog is different and has different capabilities for making toys dangerous.

So I just took one of hubby's nice gold toe! socks and put the empty water bottle in it and tied a knot on the end...Cheap toy for Axel and indistructable. Just thought I would pass along for all those water bottle babies like mine.

Thanks ladies! I will be trying these ideas.

I am searching for something to give Cooper. She destroys EVERYTHING! Argg.

I'm making one asap. Dink loves socks and bottles. He'll go nuts over the two together!
