learned to trim labels with Max pretty fast. He went through hundreds of dollars worth of toys and dog beds -- some itemslasting only minutes -- whether the labels were trimmed, or not. Then one day, he just stopped!

I just found a bag of toys that I had prchased "ahead" and stored for later. I don't know how long I've had it. I gave him a toy -- a copy of an old favorite -- and you'd have thought he was a puppy again. But, he didn't try to chew it up.

He has 3 others just like it that are chewed down to the nub, and he still plays with those too. They are a tough rubber ring surrounded by a really tough rope with a loop handle that you can use to throw the ring. His old ones have the rope chewed all the way off, but they are the most fun with the rope still attached. I don't think they make them any more, so finding a brand new one hidden in the back of a drawer wasa real treat for him.

Have you checked JB Pet online? They have a lot of old toys. A friend's Lab was absolutely nuts about a little pink pig . . . and only THAT little pink pig. She carried it around with her everywhere and loved on it so much she loved it to death. I darned it and mended it until it was just one big darn . . . but it finally died.

The stores weren't carrying them any more, but JB Pet still had them in stock. I bought two (they were on sale) and gave them to Piggy Lab's owner -- one to love on and one to save for later.
