Basenji Toys

I did see those at the store but they seems really stiff and it seems like Alani only likes really flimsy things (which is why I don't think she cares for rubber or plastic toys too much).
I should get one just to see, it's worth a shot.

Those Tuffies toys are really stiff and I think that's why they really don't like them. My neighbor who has a Lab/Chesapeake mix whose is fetch-obsessed and destroys all soft toys didn't like hers either. I don't know what type of dog likes them to keep them in business!
Nala's is a small pink leopard print (LOL) tube, if anyone's interested! -
Duke is a very high maintenance guy with toys. I spend probably $30 a month on them, but they're usually all gone within a week or two. I don't give them to him all at once either - somehow they disappear - he either destroys or hides them and forgets about them, cause whenever the the house gets a good cleaning, we find some of the difficult to destroy toys. I got a bag of 12" Bully Sticks ($18) because I heard they take longer go chew up. Noooo, Duke won't get off the floor with it until it's 3" long (about an hour) and I have to throw it away. I am under orders not to buy rope toys anymore. Too bad for Duke because he has a great time making a huge stringy mess with them. Nyla Bones aren't his favorite, but when there's nothing else, he'll claim it again. He's chewed thru 2 Kong toys. I just bought him a new one yesturday ($8). He loves the large Laser Ball - it's very durable and too big to put his choppers around.

Those rope toys are a disaster. At least with cotton it's easy to swoop up a handful at a time. The string, you have to around and pick up a hundred little piles of it. I try and pick most of it up by hand because I'm afraid it'll destroy my vacuume.
Are you under orders because of the mess?

Are you under orders because of the mess?
Yes - My husband's orders. He is usually the one cleaning up after Duke. And come to think of it, our home is much neater since Duke's arrival in March. We either keep it picked up or Duke will do it for you. :D
btw - those Laser Balls were previously posted with a Pet Smart website. I'll find it and post it again here. They can't chew it (hooray), but you put their dry kibbles inside it and when they push it around with their nose and/or feet, kibbles drop out and they eat them. Duke really has a blast with it. I enjoy watching him play with it.

do a search for: Talk to Me Laser Treatball Dog Toy (with recorder).When the ball moves, dog hears your voice, lights blink and kibbles fall out. It's fun! I think it was $20-$25 for the LARGE ball (I recommend the large one) They can't chomp on it.
