A boy and his toys (err, dog and his toys)
I love my Doc. He is sweetest 80lb dog who thinks he’s a lap dog. He’s also a VERY healthy chewer. Which basically translates to mean he needs to chew. Whether this is an intended toy of his or the corner of my bookshelf, he needs to chew on something. And not ONLY does he need to chew, but he has the need to chew with the goal of completely destroying whatever it is he is chewing. So the normal dog toys do not work, or they do not last long enough to justify the cost or mess they create.
The few I have found that Doc has not managed to destroy in under 10 mins is the Nylabone. I get the largest ones I can find, and Doc will naw on these for a long time. When he does finally widdle them down to a size that isn’t safe, I toss and get another.
I was at Fleet Farm last week, and found they have inexpensive bones, so I bought three. I presented all three to my Doc, thinking that he’d run off with one and I’d save the others for another time. Well, he tried to put all three huge bones in his huge alligator mouth. Needless to say it was sooo cute, I decided to let him have all three. (Yeah, I’m easy like that.)
