Silly Dog

Chew Toy That Sings

[digitalghost]

I just adopted a 5 month-old Boxer/German Shepherd pup that found a new chew toy. Unfortunately, when she bites on the thing it begins to play "Rescue Me" which seems to fuel her desire to destroy it.

After about 20 minutes of "Rescue Me" the song lost whatever charm it may have once had. The damn thing also apears to be her favorite toy...

My dog has a penchant for stuffed animals. And stuffed animals that moo, oink, squeal, sing, tweet, or make any other kind of animal noises are her favorites. Right now, she is sitting under my desk with my daughter's stuffed monkey that goes "Oooh oooh ah ah!" everytime she bites down.

And they do get destroyed sooner or later, usually sooner. Then I get the joy of picking up the stuffing - most people probably don't realize that even a teeny tiny stuffed animal has enough stuffing inside of it to fill a large room. Then my daughter discovers the remnants of her stuffed animal....

I suggest supplying pup with a Furby. After a few minutes hearing that damn thing chatter you'd appreciate "Rescue Me" once again.

I - mistakenly - bought a cute little stuffed red bird for my pup. It goes "tweet tweet twerrp tweet" at the first chew and then another couple more before it shuts down only to start over with the next "chew". Muff also has an octopus that makes some noise I really don't think octopi make and a big green dinosaur that <groan> groans in several different keys.

Silly dog? or silly me? :)

..."Rescue Me"...

Was in the same situation, I feel for you! If you are lucky, you will become deaf in the near future. I’m still waiting.

She's a 38lb, 5 month-old puppy, "Rescue Me" is now shredded and can only manage a feeble, "mrrrrrrfffffff". The rawhide bone is suffering a similar fate although just about as noisy.

Pig ears are only a 5 minute distraction.

Give your dog a spinning wheel and teach it to spin the pig's ears into silk purses. (That should take a while.)

Thanks.

Are there any pet toys that make noise at a frequency the pet can hear but we can't?

[digitalghost]

I don't think so Gary but lab research indicates that parents speak at a frequency that their children are unable to hear...

Dog whistles, I think. But i don't know if they play tunes.

Hey guys, know what I got for my birthday on Sept. 5th this year? Cat toys! - that's what I got. I think they're supposed to amuse me. ;)

One is a laser deelie-bob with a red light you move around on the walls that they stalk and try to catch. The other is absolutely brilliant. It's a fuzzee-ugglee thingazoid on a string attached to a stick. The song "All she wants to do is dance" came up on local radio, and I had that wretched furry thing dancing all over the kitchen floor in time to the music like Arthur Murray only wished he could.

I MUST make a video of this thing, music and all, if I can find out how, with that furry fake beast dancing. If someone knows how to do a video with music online; this could be the greatest innovation since the Hamster Dance.

Phew, luckily my two 100lb dogs rip the squeaker out in less than five minutes, which was both annoying and a relief. Now I give them plastic bottles to play with. They love popping the caps off and then making horribly loud crunchy sounds. A big bonus that they're cheap.

My little dogs don't *ever* destroy their toys, so the animals make sound forever. Luckily, when they chew on them, they rarely chew hard enough to make them squeak. Also, they're not big on stuff making noise - they'd rather use the toys as pillows and chew on rawhide or stinky hooves.
