I couldn't possibly buy some of those very cute dog toys, only to get mangled. I even avoided the natural coloured Critters, as they looked too much like squirrels.
Having said that, the only mangler is Teddy. YOu may rememberIzzy's well loved Crockydial. Well Teddy decided that it would look better minus the end of it's snout. Joly has it, now, but just carries it round and growls, hoping that someone will challenge for it (but he's disappointed-no one wants it). Then, from a computer show ,I got a freebie beanie panda. This was just saved from a chewing, though Teddy has made it rather grubby.
I still have my Merrythoughts teddybear, who is 55 years old, plus the boys' giant black teddy and two i bought as gifts, but couldn't let them go to 'horrible' grandchild and Paul (I know what his work colleagues did to my little red cow-also from a computer show-They said they had castrated it, but it was a cow, if you see what I mean).
