The toy graveyard

C’mon dog owners—we’ve all got one. Mine’s on top of the refrigerator.
It’s where we throw toys that cost more than they should have after they have their innards ripped out by our pets who don’t understand that we could have bought two days worth of groceries with that money.
I’ve also got a stuffed lamb up on mine that only has a slight rip, but causes my dogs to fight like nothing I’ve ever seen.
So I stumbled across LickedToys.com which pays homage to the de-stuffed toys and the dogs who killed them.
My personal pic on the site this morning? The $10 stuff goose with an Ace bandage wrapped around the middle. I feel the owner’s pain. I think had one of those on my fridge at one point.
Some dogs are nice to their toys. But some (including Molly, my Italian Greyhound) take to de-stuffing like a sport. But while Molly will often discard her prey after the deed is done, others (including my mom’s dog) play with the carcass for months until it’s so ratty it’s held together by strings.

Yup – We feel your pain. My husband decided that our dogs eviscerated their toys in 10 minutes or less because the quality of the toys I purchase was not up to snuff (stuff?). So, he went out and bought some nice $8.00 stuffies for the hounds. He was absolutely right – they did last longer, at least 12 minutes… Hugs to your de-stuffers from mine.
