Good Chewing

    I indulged by stopping on the way home from the park for some cooked to order Publix 'hot and spicy wings' and beer, and saw a package (not made in China) of long rawhide rolls, 2 big ones, on the 1/2 price rack. These suckers are about 12 inches long and 1 1/2 or 2 inches diameter. Now, I am not a fan of rawhide chunks, I have pulled big ones out of Topper's throat, but my guys have gotten very jaded and have bully sticks lying all over so I thought I'd see if these fired them up.

    Safe to say they like them as they have not stopped chewing on them for over an hour! Nicky actually had to stop and pant as she was chewing so vigorously. Eddie is starting to get his unrolled, not a good thing, and taking these away from them may be dangerous! ;-). Not bad for $3.50!

    Good chewing on a hot afternoon!

    We just got back from 5 days in Maui. Had to put our Laika in a kennel which we found after a long search. It was not easy to leave her there, she did ok we think. But was so glad to see us. We really hated to do this as we adopted her from a kennel 6 month ago. All our travel will now be by car only so we can take her. My husband had to pat everydog he saw in Maui. She is his baby.

    Mine like the Buster Cube, and similar balls that hold kibble. Also stuffed animals (garage sales, thrift stores), and the anmials that make repeating noises with a squeeze. Nicky likes baby toys, like the ones that you pull a cord and it plays music. They have favotire stuffed toys they have had for years, and others die quickly. Nicky loves to steal my shoes and eat them, my husband bought her a purse of her own at a garage sale, lovely leather. She has been slowly working on it for many months, knows it is HERS. Mine have almost never liked real dog toys. Anne in Tampa

    Bummer. I will take Joey's plastic away. (Sounds like a title to a song :D) I guess I knew it really wasn't the greatest, but it keeps him busy for a long time. I watch him and he always "seems" to spit out the pieces he breaks off, but I just don't want to have an accident. I am going to try an edible nylabone today and see how long that lasts. Haven't seem him go for the pricky branches yet.

    my dog loves Bully Sticks. I usually buy the ones made by Red Barn. Here's a link: http://www.redbarninc.com/c-11-bully-sticks.aspx I only buy the 12" or larger variety. As soon as the stick is chewed down to about 3", I throw it out. another long lasting one is a filled hoof, by the same company. http://www.redbarninc.com/c-23-filled-hooves.aspx warning - these stink!!!
