Ellie's new suckle toy

[spork3127]

Thought I'd share this with you guys. Ellie LOVES to suckle....so much to the point that she will literally suckle herself to sleep half the time. Well I was down near Atlanta yesterday and stopped in at Petsmart to see if they had anything new that might be Ellie proof. Walked out with a KONG Ballistic that hasn't been that great (Ellie had stitching pulled out within about 30 minutes) and something called a "Plubber." It's a solid piece of rubber wrapped in a plush fabric like fleece. They had several animals, but I got her the pig because the only "loose parts" that would be chewed or ripped off were tiny ears. Anyway, she's been suckling on it off and on since she got it and she hasn't even broken through the fabric. Usually stuffies last about 30 minutes and we're going on day 2 with this guy. Here's a pic of what it looks like.

I had seen those and was wondering how they would hold up.

Hmmmm. Never seen those before. I wonder if they would survive my rip n tear fur-kids???

Is it large enough that it can't be swallowed whole? Because my Dozer swallows everything.

It was only about $8.00, so not a huge investment. But with multiple Bullies, there might be a shorter life span.

It's around 7" long and 2.5 across at the wide parts at the top and bottom (it's kind of bone shaped....wider at the top and bottom and narrower in the middle).

I might have to give that a try. Except for nylabones, we are getting low on doggie toys.

Just an update, but we're 6 days in and this thing is still kicking. It doesn't squeak as much though b/c it has a thick layer of suckling spit at that end...
