Ollie has one of those colorful stuffed caterpillars with little antenna balls .( Hartz ?) . He doesn't tear them apart , but I had Hunter and Maggy here which meant a tug of war . Later I saw one of the little balls on the floor and when I picked it up I was pricked by a sharp wire . I clipped off the other antenna . I'm just glad that none swallowed the ball !

I don't like Hartz products, but it never ceases to amaze me what is put inside of dog toys! Styrofoam, metal pieces, etc...
I'm with you grammy; when you get a dog that doesn't shred or tear you get used to it and it spoils you :p I've bought Maddie regular stuffed animals (like for babies or whatever). You never know how much stuffing is in them until they are ALL OVER your house!!! (due to a certain male in the house) :p :rofl1:

Thanks for posting. This is good to know. I remember when my dogs were puppies I would buy rubber baby toys instead of dog toys because the baby toys don't have the squeeky insert that could hurt them. Baby toys are made safer than dog toys.

Unless you consider all the led paint on baby stuff recently discovered from CHINA :eek: Or the toxic baby formula from the same place.....Good grief.

I tell you, I have no clue what makes people think this kind of stuff is ok :mad:

I'm glad you discovered it Grammy and nobody was hurt! Glad Fran saw this for Romeo's sake too! Phew!
