Pippin and the stolen butter knife…
-
I have a toy gutter, too. And a collar eater.
Arrow is my gutter, so stuffed toys aren't around here much. Plus, they usually don't get to even keep their own in their runs - all it takes is for someone to let it get too close to the edge, and toys, cuddlers, whatever, gets stolen by the dogs next door - who then eventually lose it to the ones next to them, and on and on. Arrow thinks it works out well as she's in the last run!
Myra ate 3 collars, so Bruce couldn't wear one. However, she stole the puppies' stuffed toy from their run and just plays with it, doesn't even try to tear it up! -
Kipawa found the tiniest hole in our comforter, and has pulled out some of the stuffing. HOWEVER, I can't expect otherwise until I sew up that little hole. I find that a lot of the time I see that these types of problems are 'operator error'. For example, yesterday we had family over and someone left a book of theirs lying on the floor. Is that an invitation or what! Kipawa chewed a number of pages in it. We replaced the book with a new one, but that book should not have been left on the floor!

My kids and hubby have all learned that you can't leave anything laying about..Pippin chewed on my hubby's eyeglasses just this weekend, now they don't have the padding around the metal that goes around the ears..ouch..well they were on the floor..HELLO..
Sofia has lost numerous barbie dolls, their hands and hair is divine….Lukas has lost his legos..and stuffed animals...some of his books too..You live and you learn, except they aren't learning. ;) -
The only good thing about my pack..they actually play with the animal "skins"..I think even better than when they were stuffed..so we have millions of them roaming around in their toy basket and outside..My biggest gutter is Gus, the doxie..he has to get the squeeker out, absolutely has to..so I have been buying stuffed animals at Ikea for them and they live longer now..I guess because no squeeker is antagonizing them.

LOL, my daughter didn't learn at first, so we told her (after her eyeglasses)… they eat it, it comes out of your allowance. Yep, week later it ate her tooth retainer... $150 to replace. Husband let her pay half her allowance til it was paid off (I'd have done whole thing for nearly 4 mos!), but she learned to keep it in it's case on a shelf and her bedroom door shut.

You gotta love em otherwise you will skin them

You gotta love'em otherwise you'll skin them
this is awesome and so true..my new motto..

Yeah mine play after they are destuffed, but Cara (and Sayblee before her) get great joy from squeezing which they no longer do.

Just want to make one little suggestion…. if you are really thinking about showing, you need to take off his collar in the house or secure yard time... collars on show dogs break the hair and leave marks.... just something to think about as to get all that to grow back can take months
I never leave my boy's collar on for more than ten minutes at a time if he's outside. Soon as he comes through the door, he knows to wait 'cause the collar comes off. It always does.
He makes me laugh with his, "I wasn't born with that thing around my neck" look.

Thank you DexterDex..:)
