Alright, let’s talk about them dog toys, you know, the ones for them furry critters running around. The kind they gnaw on and chase and make a big ol’ mess with. Yeah, them Michigan dog toys, or whatever you wanna call ‘em.
What kind of toys are we talkin’ about? Well, there’s all sorts, you see. Some are tough as nails, made for them dogs that like to tear stuff up. Like them rubbery ones or them nylon ones. I heard tell of some brands, Kong somethin’ or other, Goughnuts, West Paw… sounds fancy, but I reckon they just make ‘em strong so the dogs don’t eat ‘em up in five minutes.
Then you got them stuffed animal types. Cute as a button, they are, but gotta be careful with them. My neighbor’s dog, bless its heart, choked on the stuffin’ inside one of them things. Scared the bejeebers outta her, it did. So, if your dog’s a chewer, maybe steer clear of them fluffy things.
- Tough Toys: For them chewers and destroyers. Look for rubber or nylon.
- Stuffed Animals: Cute but watch out for the stuffin’!
- Other Toys: Frisbees, balls, ropes… all kinds of things to keep them critters busy.
Now, where to get these here toys? Well, I hear tell you can find ‘em just about anywhere. Big stores, little stores, even online. That Amazon place, they got a whole heap of ‘em. Something called “Prime Try Before You Buy” they got now, too. Sounds fancy, tryin’ before you buy. Back in my day, you just bought it and hoped for the best!
And speaking of buyin’, don’t go breakin’ the bank on these things. I seen some prices that’d make your hair stand on end. But then you got some that are just fine. Starting at, what, nine ninety-nine they say? For a toy? Well, I guess that ain’t too bad. And if you wanna spoil them rotten, you can get ‘em a fancy bed for forty-nine ninety-nine. Land sakes, a bed for a dog!
But you know what really matters? It ain’t the price, and it ain’t how fancy it looks. It’s about keepin’ them dogs happy and healthy. That’s what I always say. Get ‘em somethin’ that’ll last, somethin’ that won’t hurt ‘em, somethin’ that’ll keep ‘em busy and outta trouble. ‘Cause a bored dog is a mischievous dog, that’s for sure.
Think about your dog, not just the toy. What kinda dog you got? A big ol’ fella or a little bitty thing? A chewer or a gentle soul? That’ll help you figure out what kind of toy to get. And don’t forget to check them toys now and then, make sure they ain’t fallin’ apart or nothin’. You don’t want your dog swallowin’ somethin’ they shouldn’t.
And one more thing, today’s National Pet Day, they say. Every day is pet day in my book, but I guess it’s nice to have a special day for them critters. So go on, get your dog a toy, give ‘em a treat, show ‘em some love. They deserve it, them furry little fellas.
So, there you have it. A whole heap of nothin’ and a little bit of somethin’ about dog toys. Just remember, keep ‘em safe, keep ‘em happy, and don’t spend a fortune doin’ it. That’s the best advice this old woman can give ya.
