    Yes I have :( Oscar was really into them for about the first couple of hours but once he figured out how to get the yummy stuff out in like 2.4 seconds he was over it. I read that its good to switch up their toys which has been helping but he is still a crazy man. The Kong toys are the few that seem to last him which is good. All the stuffed animal toys dont last a week. Lately he has really been into frisbees (sp?)

    Old Navy sells dog frisbees.  My mom bought one for Thornton and he hasn't been able to chew it up as easily as the plastic ones. He LOVES it!

    Really?!?!?! Are they not plastic? Oscar has gone through about 4 or 5 of them now. I alwasy find bits and pieces of them in the back yard. I also found online dog beds that they cant chew through. If thats true that would be awesome because he just finished off his 5 dog bed and they are not cheap :(

    Allie loves her kong. Even if I don't stick anything in it she will play with it. She has learned to toss it so it bounces. She can do that for a while.Amber have you tried giving him tennis balls? Allie chews through things quick, but she hasn't been able to destory the tennis balls.

    Roxy plays catch by herself with tennis balls LOL :) She also loves rope toys and stuffed animals (those she eats). Have you tried buying Oscar the big rawhide bones? I find that as long as I regularly give Roxy raw hides she doesn't chew my stuff :)

    We give Oscar tennis balls and those rubber balls that are really tough material but he gets pretty bored with those fast. He does LOVE those rope toys but goes through them so fast. The one he has now has lasted about a week and thats good for Oscar. If we leave it with him at night or in the crate he will shred it within an hour. He loves rawhides but again, he goes through them so quick so we have to take it away from him otherwide he gets the runs (TMI) from eating the whole thing. Its like Oscar is on roids and there is no balance. He either doesnt care about something or he makes it his lifes mission to eat, chew or dig until he passes out.

    The frisbees are like a soft plastic, not the hard plastic that other frisbees are made of. Kong sells the black ones, which are made for dogs with power jaws.  They are virtually indestructible.
