Dog chew toys that don't get them in trouble: Add your dog's favorites! (Thanks, daisee)
1. Fun stuff
- We leave empty cardboard boxes for the dogs to chew up. Also these loofah bones (cleans their teeth while they rip them apart) and TONS of cat toys (with catnip). (from veritableqndry)
2. Hard-to-destroy stuff
-At dollar tree they carry "milkbone" toys... she beats the hell out of them and still they hold up. (not to mention their only a buck if they destroy them) (from wakethewicked2)
- I've had good luck with these -- the avatar dog has destroyed everything but this kind. They come in different sizes and shapes and you can put treats inside for them to dig out: http://www.petmountain.com/produc...-kong.html . I get mine at a local farm store, but I'm sure you could get them at places like Pets Mart if you don't want to buy online. (from callpocket)
- Here are a couple that have survived Sophie so far:

- Here are a couple that have survived Sophie so far:
- Busy Buddy bouncy bone - We gave up on the rawhide inserts. She rips those out in seconds but likes the toy without them anyhow and cannot kill it.)
- Everlasting treat ball -Again she pulls out the expensive inserts right off the bat...but she likes bouncing the toy. You can also hide dog kibble in the middle for the dog to try to get out, which entertains him for awhile. She hasn't managed to rip this one at all yet even though it feels soft and flexible.
- Jolly Ball: - Ours is bigger than the one at this link. It's hysterical to see her stick her snout in the hole and wave the ball in the air. It's bigger than her head. She runs around the house with it on her snout, growling and acting like a maniac. I don't know why she can't chew it up, but she can't.
- Then there are big Nylabones, which she can kill eventually. But they take a long time to die. (from olu)

We are currently babysitting a black lab named Maverick (Kulani's BF) and what appears to be part chow/yellow lab mix named Sydney. Sydney popped her front legs up on the counter and ate a chocolate bar.
Oh....two more things. We finally got a Petco here. (Still no PetSmart though) Went to inquire about getting my cat shaved and they said it would be $105!!!
Went back to buy some dog food (with coupons, of course) and there was a Great Dane in there being groomed. Big guy weighed 190 pounds!!!! Wonder what it cost to get him groomed?

It is a well known fact that the naughty ones are even cuter after a "My Dog Ate ______" stories... Those dogs are known for hamming it up when they are caught... You wanna smack them, then they look at you and do some random cute or awesome thing that makes you wanna laugh and totally ruin the Bad Cop Routine that is required to scold them....

I have a long haired cat and I always get her shaved in the summer. Some people think that means bald, but she just ends up looking like a short haired cat and she really is much more comfortable. Anyways I took her to petco once and I know it wasn't that much, but they barely even trimmed her and her fur was still full of clumpies
I found a local groomer who does a great job

Was getting it on as typical Sunday night fashion. Usually Tails sits outside the door and cries and cries and cries, since he follows me around when I am home (he will get up from his nap, follow me to the kitchen, watch me drink a glass of water, and go back to the living room... but I digress)... But this time, he only cried for like 3 seconds!
Well... 30mins later when we emerged, there was a wet spot in front of the door. Walk into the living room, and well his ears were lowered, big eyes, and his Tail was half thumping on the ground... awww... bastard.

It all started with Gus sitting on the top of the couch growling at something outside. This went on for a few hours. When I let him out the back door, he ran around to the front and stopped at the end of the driveway. So I went out, he was sitting there making low growling noises.
I walked across the street to the mailbox and pick up the new phone book off the ground. I walk back up the drive and Gus snags the yellow bag the phone book came to out of my hand. He ran to the back yard, he swung it back and forth, I thought he was going to knock himself out. He made a hole, and the book flew out on the third or fourth run around the yard. He the abandoned the bag and picked up the book. After running around with it for a bit, he drops it. The wind caught a page and it blew up... Gus freaked and ripped it out, and it blew away in the wind. He most have thought this was an AWESOME game, cause he did it a few more times.
So... I had to go pick up a few dozen pieces of paper, I had a mutilated yellow bag in my hand anyway.. The phone book, is still in the yard, not far from Danny Glover. Danny is a glove Gus picked up on a walk, and keeps in the yard, I threw it out once, but it somehow migrated back to the yard cause. I am gonna keep it because he frequently plays with that as well. I do not have the heart to throw out his new toys just yet.
