The Teddy Bear from Hell
We went out yesterday to pick up a few things and took Martini with us. We stopped by PetSmart, put Martini in a cart and wheeled him down the dog toy aisle. As we cruised along a little brown fuzzy Teddy bear caught Martini’s eye. I picked it up to let him smell it and see it closely and he turned into a wiggly little fluff of dog. So we purchased the bear along with another toy and headed for home.
Once we got home I took both toys from the bag to remove all the tags etc. After I cut the tags from the little brown bear, I squeezed it to see if it had a squeaker inside. It didn’t but the surprise was that the damned thing played “Rock-a-bye-baby” when it was squeezed. Martini looked at it and smartly turned and walked away.
Nowhere on that toy did it state the thing played music. Now we are referring to it as the Teddy bear from hell. Martini will retrieve it but if he hits the part that makes the music begin, he drops it, stares at it, and slowly backs away.
The moral of the story: Always squeeze dog toys before you purchase them or else you too might own a Teddy Bear from Hell.

squeeze toys and charmin....
martini knows what he likes
When we still had beagles around we learned that the best stuffed toy was an old cotton sock stuffed with a couple of others and sewed shut. They were basically free and the dogs could have cared less that they weren't a teddy bear or rabbit shape. I think the best part about them was they were long enough to make a noise then they were shaken. Save your money and try recycling Mr. PoP's old work socks.
that's funny and very smart of martini by the way.
i squeeze everything before i buy anything.
perhaps a carefully placed heavy foot would disable the teddy tune.
I believe squeaky dog toys are the devil including but not limited singing dog toys. I have 4 dogs...at any given time, my home could sound like an off-key glee club.
