  • mine do the same- there is always stuffing covering the floor(until i clean it up and they do it again!) i buy the ones from walmart that are 88 cents. that way i can buy a ton and not care they all get torn up! and mine try to eat the squeekers..

  • The only time my floor is clear of stuffing and dead toy parts is the few minutes before I start weekly vacuuming and the half hour afterwards. I put all his toys (even the ones I wouldn't call toys anymore) in a box by the chair and EL D waits until a little after the vacuuming is done before he starts to pull them all over the place (except never into the bathroom - funny).

    Yes, we have many toys that shouldn't be called toys anymore; those things that normal people would have long ago thrown away. But then, we're not normal people, we are Basenji owners. :D

  • Magnum usually has no interest in his stuffed toys, unless there's a loose thread/seam, then he'll rip them apart.

    Otherwise, he just wants you to leave them alone. They're his and only his.

  • The picture is soooooo cute!! Thats how my house looks all the time!

  • Those camera eyes make him look like a devil dog (oh wait that's what some people call basenjis :D)

  • Ramsey just likes to carry his toys around never tears them up, but layla loves to tear them up when were home on the weekends i refuse to vacumn til sunday because she goes crazy, we also have a basket of toys in our office, too bad we cant teach the pups to pick up after themselves, and caira isnt really fond of toys unless its tug of war….it fun to watch 3 b's fighting ovr the same toy.....it gets noisy too lol

  • my dogs surgically open the back seam of the hedgehog and dig out the squeaker - then the stuffing and then throw around the empty fleece carcass as a toy - looks to me like a kid with a new toy that goes and plays with a box!

  • The B I am fostering came with a de-stuffed…um...thing (I really couldn't tell you what it once was). When she doesn't get her way she will BAROOOOOO at us as loud as she can and then grab the stuffy and shake, shake, shake it and throw it in our general direction. If she could say "so there', I know she would.

    Hi there -- not sure if everyone uses this strategy but i soak some kibble in water and mix in a little peanut butter (so that simba isn't getting too much salt) and then stuff the Kong with that before freezing -- lasts longer and still has the same nutrients as his meals. We have the puppy and the classic and I think they're effectively the same. He also LOVES the blue kong squeaky ball. @schmerla

    hopefully Dex is just teething. I worked very hard to keep toy-drive in Zest as it can make training easier and more fun. And she still often gets a treat for retrieving or tugging her toys.

    My husband and I went to a Rays baseball game several weeks ago where he actually caught a foul ball! Well we brought the ball home and he was so proud (never caught a ball before) but guess who has had her eyes on it since it came into the house. You guessed it little Ms. Trixie. He had it showing our kids and she actually jumped up onto his lap and tried to take it. We of course have since went out and bought her (I know spoiled rotten) her own baseball and she loves it!

    You could also try the small RC cars. The B's really like it as well as this little helicopter thing I have. They also like my furry blue pig-but they can't have that one!!

    @Gooby: When I walk Goober in the park I have to contantly correct him when he tries to eat goose poop. I trained him with a Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo doll. IMO, now would be a good time for Gooby and you to attend a Puppy Class. They will teach you commands like "leave it" and many more obedience commands followed up with a very high value treat. One much too yummy than that old goose poop! :)
