March of the Dead Dog Toys -- Part Dos

Muh wife and I continue to buy Tucker toys for him to play with.

We continue to mull over every toy and evaluate how long it will take the fuzz machine to completely destroy the toy we buy him.

We continue to get frustrated at just how quickly he is able to destroy each toy we buy him.

I have even written about it in the past...

This will not deter us! But... here are the latest victims...

The tennis balls and squeaky football remain the premiere Tucker toys right now. He spends hours and hours with each of them and they work great.

I. The Hippo -- When I first started writing this blog, I had included his suaky hippo in the list of staple toys that Tucker likes to play with and doesn't destroy. That changed two nights ago when we found that Tucker had taken the gift from his foster father -- Bless you Ernie N.!!! -- and ripped out its intestines and innards. It made us both extremely sad. Much more than we could have imagained. It also was bittersweet in now that Tucker has no ties to the past except what we have given him....




II. Rope -- Muh wife and I bought this really great rope toy for Tucker. Tucker loved it. He played Tug of War and Fetch quite well with it. He seemed to take great pride and possession of the toy and wouldn't let anyone else play with it whenever he saw anyone near it. It was cute...

Then... one day... like the blonde girl in Aruba... it just disappeared...It was way too big for Tucker to have eaten (and we would have seen it in his poopies anyway...) and too big to not just be somewhere obvious... especially since Tucker doesn't go anywhere but the same four rooms!

Alas... after having turned the house on its ear for days... we bought him a new rope toy... a rope toy that he destroyed in about 1.5 hours. What is his deal?



3. Elephant -- I had such high expectations for this toy. He went nuts with it as it had three squeakies in it. After about a week and just when we started to feel comfortable with the toy's permanency... Tucker chewed the foot off and was chewing on a squeaky like a breath mint. ARGH!!!!



As you can probably tell, we are anxious about buying him new toys... but you know we are going to do it anyway... :)

In fact... we bought him a replacement rope toy ... the exact same one that just disappeared a month or so ago. He is already in love with it.

I give it... 10 more days.
