Pam Crooks says
Enjoy your recipes! Am curious about the stuffed toys your dogs have. We have a Golden Retriever who is a stronger chewer. We've never given him a soft toy. Can you tell me the brand of yours? And do they hold up? Or just props? :-)
DrDan says
Thanks for the note.
Those toys are the $5 holidays ones from PetSmart and definitely not for a chewer. Our girls have "gentle mouths" and never destroy larger toys. Smaller ones sometimes. Those are not props but are new so they are clean. The bunny ones I wanted to use were two week old and too dirty. The Santa toy that is also there is three yrs old.
There is a brand that we give to people with the dogs that destroy everything, "Fluff and Tuff" about $20 on Amazon. One niece with two large labs which destroy everything. We gave her two. One "died" in 18 months and the second is still "alive" after 2 years. Give them a try.

My sister and her family just got an English Golden Retriever puppy a couple of weeks ago. I imagine he will look similar to yours when he grows up. Have a merry Christmas. I enjoy following your blog on Pinterest.
