romeo and his kongs! grrrrrrr.......

[paulapoo]

I forgot to mention, Otis (my yorkie) does have a favorite toy other than the chewy hide twists. It's a kleenex! he can shred a kleenex in 20 seconds flat. He LOVES them. Anyone else's dogs like a kleenex?

Neither of my babies like their Kongs either...silly little things! I bought the biscuits that go inside them and put peanut butter on them...they'll lick the peanut butter off the biscuits and then ignore the kong

They love the treat balls that they have to roll around to get the treats out...I put kibble in them and they spend ages trying to get it all out!

They have the same favourite toy a small stuffed lizard (called Lizzy) that squeaks...they go nuts for that stupid lizard!

I love this board. I read soooo many positive things about the Kong toys and how dogs would go crazy w/ them and be entertained for hours. Well, nothing nothing nothing. Same as all your dogs. I began to think, "Am I dumb?? Can I not figure this Kong thing out? maybe I am not putting the treats in there correctly or maybe I put too many/too less, etc.?" Haha....wayyy too much thought into this little toy. what a waste of thoughts! haha. Anywyas, glad to see this thread so I can quit messing w/ it. It's as simple as Murphy doesn't prefer it .....like how I don't prefer certain things. I just had never seen anything negative against the Kong. Gracias, senoritas!!

We also got the new Kong Wubba which is awesome...Both of my furbabies love it and they play tug of war with each other...It's neat, maybe your babies would like the wubba

Mine LOVED the kongs when they were puppies. I never put anything in them either, but I bounced them and they went crazy chasing them. When they caught it they would chew and chew on it.

I bought some other little balls that had really open sides and put treats (Charlee bears) in them. I put them in their crates when I would leave. They loved them because all they had to do was take their paw and move the ball and treats would come spilling out. It kept them occupied long enough that they didn't notice us leaving.

Kleenex, yes! Mine love to shred kleenex, paper towels and napkins. You have to hide the kleenex boxes or cover them up around here. My husband keeps a box on the floor next to the bed with a magazine over it. If the mag falls off you can lay there and her "zip, zip, zip" as Daisy pulls kleenex after kleenex from the box. She loves it. My friend gave Daisy a box of kleenex and a bundle of sticks for her first birthday! I didn't let her have them tho because I suspect that she is ingesting some of the kleenex.

Ohh yes, any sort of paper. Lily goes nuts! I had to get flip-top garbage cans because she would tip over the bathroom garbage can (ewww!). She also loves toilet paper rolls.

When he gets on one of those you can forget him for awhile. He'll even leave the room and go get on the bed so he's not interrupted by anyone. He throws a fit if it gets to small and I try to get it away from him. But toys, nope. My shih-poo is the opposite he ALWAYS has a toy in his mouth, Always, it's like the toys are his security blanket. It's strange, but it;s really cute. He is not partial to any one toy, but I buy a lot of the 94 cent orange bones at Wal-mart!!!

My Dex has NO interest in any toy except one nylabone that is blue and covered in little bumps... he'll very occassionally play fetch with it, but thats it... my Fletcher on the other hand loves ALL stuffed squeaky toys! I used to buy the cheapy ones at Walmart also, but he would tear them apart in 1 day! Then again, he tears apart all stuffed squeaky toys really quickly! Occassionally one will last for a couple weeks but thats about it!

Bruizer likes the stuff he is not supossed to have. Like shoes or WOOD. He loves wood, I keep telling myself is is because he is teething. I hope thats all it is. My Son just outgrew his shoes so I gave the old ones to Bruizer to chew on till he starts getting shreds off it the I will throw them away.
