Bingley has a "hear boy" penguin from pah but I can't find it on the website. It seems to be lasting well.

 :005: That's probably why you can't find it - it's too hard wearing so you never buy another, they've probably discontinued it!  :005:

The only thing that Tilly has not destroyed is the skineez critter toys...she loves them.

Roxy has the Skunk and the Fox, both in good condition and because there's no stuffing in them you can get them washed and dried really easily.

She also has a Kong Cozie, they've got stuffing in and a squeaker bit has a toughened under layer that is supposed to make them more hard wearing.

Ooh just realised we have the skunk and fox too...they are both in 3 separate pieces and she split the speakers in a few minutes and now they just rattle >:( and she's certainly not a toy destroyer!

We bought Jasper a mallard today in pah...it lasted about 40 minutes lol!!! I posted the evidence on the particolour photo board  :lol2:

Toby has the pheasant one (or parrot according to OH) It has lasted 2 weeks, and now its wings are hanging on by a thread.

These are pretty good, my OH's 15 month old Lab is even worse for destroying toys than my lot but I got her one of these Tuffy's toys a few weeks ago which she really likes and so far it's lasting ok. She has Wesley the Whale who is an 8 on the 'tuff scale' :005: They're all soft and I think most of them have squeakers.

Barney had Wesley.  He did last about 6 months, which is really good in our house, before Barney managed to make a small hole in the top of him.  I told OH Barney just wanted to add some realism by making a blowhole.  My boy is so clever.

I was going to suggest skineeez, as these are the only thing that Ebony "the serial soft toy disemboweller" hasn't managed to pull apart the same day. The squeaker is now hanging outside one of the skineez bodies in its nylon sleeve but it still squeaks.

I now have a repair kit handy and most of her toys look like Frankinsteins monster they have been stitched up so many times. You can buy toy squeakers or what I do is save the ones from toys I can no longer repair and replace as necessary  :005:

 :lol2:  Alice's Wesley will undoubtedly end up shredded at some stage but if he lasts 6 months that'd be a record for her so far. I might order the Ultimate Squid for my lot, they didn't have him when I bought Wesley but he looks great and rates a 9 so might last for a couple of extra months :005:
