Wooohooo!!! How exciting! <br /><br />The toy thingy, can see you got loads of good advice. The Kong range were and still are a hit with me. A good idea to put a stuffed kong in the freezer and give to Bertie when it's frozen to keep him busy and soothe those hurting gums! The Kong throw stick and rings were a hit too. Those soft fleecy raggers and toss rings are fun and I love any and all interactive treat balls and games. Those tough toys,forget it, no fun at all.I won't even touch them. <br /><br />When you have a moment before Bertie arrives could you send me your snail mail please? Ta.<br /><br />BTW.

Bu...April 19th and Berties arrival is in the diary. Buying toys is simple - all of them last between 30 seconds and 30 minutes and are hugely expensive. Having said that there's a great pet store near Valvonnas in Edinburgh that sells a great selection of US pet toys made out of hard duty canvas. Wilf and Digby have been determinedly trying to destroy them, and although well perforated, they've lasted for years.Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905037014736070475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806379150774713992.post-16351336661162769162010-04-09T18:08:01.000-07:002010-04-09T18:08:01.000-07:00Yah us terriers have good chewers.

Stuffies and squeakies last about 10 min and I really liked the rope thingys they are fun to do tug or war with. I do remember a ball being put into a sock with a big knot in it, that was fun too.<br />CAnt wait to see Berti and watch him grow up.<br /><br />Smiles<br />jazziScooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821524664278901347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806379150774713992.post-3068653110751925652010-04-09T15:42:22.742-07:002010-04-09T15:42:22.742-07:00Nylabone makes an excellent soft puppy bone for te...Nylabone makes an excellent soft puppy bone for teething. It breaks off in tiny little nylon bits that pass through the innards easily as opposed to a rawhide chew which can get lodged in the middles somewhere unpleasant and expensive. Both Nylabone and Kong make a selection of tennis balls with or without squeakies. Fun for chasing. Kong makes a nice puppy 'snowman' shaped toy that you can fill with something (like peanut butter) or they make 'puppy stuffies' that fit inside. We broke those in 2 parts so we could completely mash it down inside. Provided lots of chew time. They also have a roll about ball you can put kibble in that dispenses kibbie one at time when the puppy bats it about. Or throws it with their mouth. Stuffies are fun, but when they are babies they might destroy them very quickly and swallow bits. Bonnie swallowed part of a cheap rubber chicken toy and it was touch n go for a bit. I recommend Kong and Nylabone for their sturdiness and play factor. Those knotted rope toys are good too for tug of war. Watch for squeaky toys where the squeaker is easy to get at as they will chew it off immediately and swallow it. Squeakers that are hidden are better. It's good to 'own' the toys and bring them out at play time and then gather them back up except for one chew toy. When you find him chewing on something he shouldn't take it away and give him one of HIS chew toys. Don't give him an old shoe as he won't be able to tell good shoes from the one he is supposed ot have. Same thing with socks. When Puffy was a puppy, the kids liked to play tug with thier socks. We didn't have a decent sock in the house for years and he would try to pull them off if you were walking around in your socks. <br />There is a line of stuffies called LOOFA dogs. Looks like long skinny doggies with several squeakers in them. They held up to Bonnie with the flashy jaws of death and we still have the original 3. <br /><br />I can't wait to see more photos of Bertie!<br /><br />Pam - Head of Bonnies purchasing departmentScrapsofMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693478395327191255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806379150774713992.post-16098162025223473922010-04-09T14:53:58.301-07:002010-04-09T14:53:58.301-07:00We dogs are definitely superior beings.

It's strange what our minds just take for granted.<br /><br />As for dog toys - terriers will destroy just about anything so make sure what you get for Bertie seem to be about 3 sizes bigger than you think you will need. I have the best luck with the rope toys - they like them and they are sturdy - can go through repeated launderings too. Scotties have such huge mouths you would be amazed to see the large bones I have for my 8 week old puppies! And what they can destroy.<br /><br />Best of luck and have fun.<br />LynnRocky Creek Scotties and Rocky Creek Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358992951185911832noreply@blogger.com
