Stuffed animals are my dogs' favorite toys, but they last somewhere between 5 and 45 seconds. Hardly worth it, unless I can get them at a garage sale for a dime. I also get tired of picking up stuffing all the time.
My dogs also like the rope toys, and ANYthing with a squeaker in it ... which usually don't last long, either. My dogs won't even look at a kong.
Today I went to a rummage sale at the junior high here. They were selling a lot of old and excess things ... including an entire box full of old soft balls and rather flat small inflatable rubber balls. I bought the whole box ... about 30 balls ... for $4. My dogs are in heaven!
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
