Death to the Turtle

I have a lot of plush type toys that are kept in the hall closet and only brought out when I have time to closely supervise play. The reason? Well, a terrier being a terrier, it's not long until they decide they want to play the ultimate terrier game and gut the poor stuffie.

Salinas and Chima inspect the turtle

So these nice tough plushies (and by tough I mean that they would last 3 minutes in a toy killing spree as opposed to 30 seconds) are extra special to the dogs and yesterday I decided to let the girls have a turn with the Velcro turtle who is full of all kinds of great sounds.

Once Chima found the "grunter" in the head she really went to town on keeping the noise going

The cool thing about turtle is his back Velcros on and off so the dog can rip the back off and it's all good. And then there was the plus that the Velcro stuck to the carpet a little too so Chima got to pull it off the carpet occasionally too.

There are 9 squeakers in the turtle's back, and 4 in it's legs and then the head has a "grunter" which made Chima step back and tilt her head when she found it.

Sal giving me a very pathetic look and wondering when it will be her turn and why I won't put the camera away

All in all she had a ton of fun and can't wait until I pull out the next surprise toy. Salinas was interested but a little shy so later with Chima crated and the camera tucked away she got her own turn to kill the turtle and had her chance at fun.
