What is a Booda Velvet? Sounds interesting. I need to replinish my toy supply. My Golden Retrievers have chewed up everything they had as far as indoor toys go. I did resort to empty clothes detergent bottles outdoors (old Tide bottles). They are not a real attractive thing, but those dogs just love to carry them around and can't seem to chew them up, so I feel like they are safe.
I also got the stray puppy I found, Dexter, a stuffed "ghost"(made especially for puppies) when he went to live with his new owner. That puppy carries his ghost everywhere. He is so happy in his new home.
