Madison, our younger dog, loves all toys. Rubber chew toys, tennis balls, rope toys, stuffed toys (especially those that squeak) - Maddie wants to own them all! On the other hand, our older dog Ruby is rather quirky when it comes to toys. She is only interested in stuffed ones, but she will not play with them until after they have been broken in by another dog. For some reason, she prefers used toys, and the more tattered the better as far as she is concerned.
There is, however, one exception to Ruby's rule. See that Outward Hound Hide A Squirrel Plush Dog Toy ($7.99) shown above? Ruby loves it, but in particular she loves the stump! The stump does not squeak, and is rather cumbersome, but our Ruby will choose it every time. She likes to carry it around and shake it, and then lie down and chew on it for a while. She will even forego waiting until Madison has broken it in, and will happily grab a brand new one. I don't even pretend to understand why she does this, but I do know that we are on our last stump at the moment, so an Amazon order as soon as possible is on Ruby's wish list for sure - we need a backup stump!
