OT - question for crafty people
You know how some dog toys have those squeaky things in them? Little plastic... thingies... I don't know what you call them. But when you squeeze the toy, then it squeaks. Well, my dog loves squeaky toys but he destroys them really fast and I hate to spend much money on something that is only going to last a day. When I can, I rescue the squeaky thing before he bites it and punctures it, and then I put it in another toy, like an old sock that I stuff with scraps of fabric.
What I'm wondering is if it's possible to buy those squeaky things at a craft store or something. I assume it is but I don't know what to call them or where to look. I searched for "squeakers" on the Hobby Lobby website and got no results but I'm probably not searching for the right thing. Anyone know what to call those things or where I might find some?

Isaac did destroy a Kong football with a squeaker in it, although it took him almost two weeks to do so. Most squeaky toys last him less than a full day.

Check on ebay. I looked not too long ago, and they have them in at least 3 sizes. Low, medium, or higher quantities are available with these, and they're much cheaper than buying new dog toys when the sqeaker is "dead" or rippout out of the toy. DAVE

Kelly, I have a "power chewer", too. I've bought rope toys, squeaky toys, everything, and he just destroys them immediately. I've finally gone to Nylabone bone chews:
He chews these forever, and also loves to play fetch with them. The great thing is, I don't think I'll ever have to pay for a dental cleaning for him: he's got the prettiest pearly whites of any dog around, and he's already 5 years old!

He likes Nylabones but he also likes squeaky toys. I just done wanna spend a fortune buying squeaky toys that will only last him one day. I think he likes variety, though. He seems like he gets bored sometimes and then he bugs me.
I like the Nylabones and Kongs a lot because they are nearly impossible to destroy and the Nylabones are good for their teeth and you don't have to worry about them eating a piece of the toy that they chew off. Although he is good about not eating inedible things. Except for cat poop. Ick.
