Dogs

She turned 11(ish) last month.

I'm so glad I found it again!

I have had four dogs in my life and she was by far the smartest. Very easily teachable, very friendly, very social and, as you can see, quite patient.

I have overcome my grief, so no apologies for my loss are necessary. Of course I miss her, but seeing this photo made me so happy. It's like getting one more moment with her all these years.

Today is National Dog Day!

This day is meant to bring awareness and celebrate shelter dogs.

On this day, consider adopting, donating or fostering for your local rescue/pound!

I have a 40 lb Samoyed who is a specific type of aggressive chewer. It isn’t so much she destroys any toy I give her because of how hard she chews, but rather she is like a sniper. She finds the weak point in a toy and carefully chews it until the toy is destroyed. I had to stop giving her stuffed toys as she stripes the fur off of them and eats it. While nylon bones work, she will go through them in a few days. And I don’t want to give her toys so hard they will wreck her teeth.

The problem is when I go to pet stores, all the toys labeled for “aggressive chewers”, she finds the weak spot and destroys the toy within one day (sometimes within an hour).

I just recently got a tuffy ring and I was hopeful but she is chewing the ends and eating the fabric off of it.

Does anyone else have a dog like this and if so, what toys have worked for you?
