Yonjuro Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 ... oh, what a baby :laugh: After such a trying day playing fetch, having a nice snooze, a long walk and a lovely meal, it was time to Ronin to relax with his very first toy :D What a hard life this beastie has :D When Ronin was born, I sent this Snuggle Puppy to our lovely breeder who rubbed it all over his Mum and Sister before he came over to me at just over 8 weeks.

korbin13 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 What a cutie! Can't believe the toy has lasted, mine would have had the stuffing out of it at some stage of puppyhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 is he sucking it? So very cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonjuro Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Ronin is 11 months now so I am also amazed the toy is still alive too :D He has destroyed a couple of Tuffy toys but he is generally very gentle with it. My wife has done some emergency sutures on it though. It really is the best thing, as when it gets to the witching hour, I can often circumvent it by saying "get you puppy" and he jumps up to his spot on the sofa with his mat and has snuggle time :laugh: Edited September 30, 2014 by Yonjuro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonjuro Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 is he sucking it? So very cute I am not quite sure if he is sucking it or gently chewing it - but I think he is just chewing it ever so softly. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Nawww!! Ronin is so cute! Novas first toy is headless. It did last quite a long time, but then he destroyed it at about 12 months. It's body still gets played with though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Nawww! Lili my Aussie does this! She has Sharky and Monkey (a shark and a monkey, so original lol) and if we need her to settle we just grab one of them and off she goes, she will fall asleep sucking on them and kneading with her paws she is 6 now and still does it :) Edited September 30, 2014 by Dame Aussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjelkier Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) That's pretty gorgeous. My big boy Beowulf (aka The King) has his security toy as well. It's just adorable, he's such a big, regal dog and then he reverts to puppy hood :laugh: Edited September 30, 2014 by Bjelkier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving my Oldies Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm always intrigued at these stories of dogs and their toys, particularly those where the dog is very very attached to a particular toy. Year in and year out a box of toys has sat on my deck and it is never looked at. IFrom time to time, I will tip it out, swish around the tug toys, gently roll the tennis balls, drag the socks around, and my dogs look [rolly eyes] at me as though: we always knew she was nuts. Very occasionaly when she was younger, Tamar would chase a tennis ball ...... once. She'd never bring it back and if I threw it, well I was trying to murder her wasn't I. Only on her terms. Strange creatures :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpette Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Ronin is absolutely gorgeous. Such a gentle soul. Baylee had her Tigger for 11 and 1/2 years. He has some flee holes in him, but is otherwise intact. If you put him in the down stairs town box she would retrieve him and take him upstairs to her bed each night, where he would get a good fleeing. The other two could not really care about their puppyhood bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
