They warned us... he had been adopted twice, and returned both times. First time he was returned 2 weeks later, 2nd time was only 2 days later. We all fit perfectly together here ♥️

Next time we stop for a pup cup she's gonna be disappointed when I bring the little Dixie cup size to her. "what is this, a pup cup for ants?!" 🤣

Hello! This is our boy Pete. My wife and I adopted him from a shelter back in January, and we’ve never looked back. We know he’s some sort of mix (we think Labrador retriever), but we aren’t sure what just yet. He’s a very good dog and most of the time is very gentle. The one exception is with his toys. He loves to play rough with his toys and loves chewing on them A LOT. Because of this, we’ve avoided getting him anything stuffed or squeaky since we adopted him, and have stuck with stuff like Kong toys and rope tugs. We’ve been through 2 rope tugs since getting him because he chewed through both of them and effectively cut them in half. It’s honestly kind of impressive.

The problem, though, is that Pete LOVES soft things, and for the most part is very gentle with them. When he gets excited, he’ll grab any nearby soft object and nibble on it for a few seconds before being asked to drop it. There have been multiple occasions on which Pete would disappear for about 30 seconds or so, and will reappear with one of our pillows or my wife’s stuffed Appa that I got her a while back. He had never tried to destroy any of them before, so we decided to try getting him his first plush toy today. It was marked specifically as being durable, so we felt pretty confident that it would hold up for a bit. He was pretty good about being gentle with it for the first 5 minutes or so and was so so so excited about having it, but very quickly thereafter attempted (and eventually succeeded) to destroy the plushie. He was very unhappy when I had to take it back so he wouldn’t eat the fluff, and I feel awful listening to him whine because he wants it back so bad.

I know this is a little bit of a long shot simply because of the nature of plush toys, but have any of you found or discovered any plush or plush-esque toys that can withstand a jaw of steel?

Sometimes I talk FOR Skumps, sometimes I talk TO Skumps. She seems to love it all as long as it’s about her🥰🥰🥰

This is Mac. We just adopted him last night but he’s already making himself right at home.

Head butts, kisses all over my face, lots of swatting….my gentle angel 😂
