So, What is Santa bringing your GSD kids??? - Page 2

NOTHING, lol.  They owe MEEE a new couch, lol.

JustK9s,

That is awesome!  Congratulations..

shhh...I promise not to tell them.

I cannot do beds, squeaky toys, rope toys, stuffed toys...

they love to chew these things!

Kongs are plentiful around here and ignored most of the time.  Knuckle bones are used to decorate my yard.  ugh..

I think I want to try the big ball with the handle...what do y'all call that?  I think they'd love it. 

Maybe not for X-mas but after Tax season, my dogs are getting new concrete and kennels. I'm getting a new lawn thanks to them.  

My dogs have asked Santa for a new Porsche.

We are getting a new/old couch as well.  Was my grandmothers before she passed away and was hardly ever used.  So, in very good shape.  The chair that the arm is trashed from them standing on it looking out the window!  Trying to decide whether or not to have it reupolostered (sp?) or just replace it.  We are having new siding done this week, man what a freakin mess!  I just as soon gone to work vs. being here watching it all unfload!  It's an old house so it's got aluminum siding, so there was the pile of that.  Luckily someone came and picked that up this morning.  Also, the huge!  pile of garbage bags in the middle of the as is small back yard!  So, the dogs go out supervised because of all the crap.  Not much room for them either, so have been taking them out on the flexi.  Let's not forget the men in the windows, driving my Ike crazy!  He doesn't know which to look out!  LOL 

I think I'll get "Jaws" his own garden hose. Maybe then he'll quit making mine into 700 fat green soda straws.

It's called a Jolly Ball, they come in various sizes. We have the 10" and the 8".  The dogs love them.   They can be destroyed after a while, or quickly depending on your dog.  Even our hard core chew monsters don't "kill" them right away.  Even after they eventaully chew then handles off the ball is still a good play toy for a while longer.  We get them from the following places:

I usually get a few at a time to take advantage of free shipping and to have some spares.

The balls I've had good luck with lately are the heavy duty leather soccer balls.  They still hold the round shape even when they're deflated and the size is perfect for them to carry around.  My dh found an entire bag of them on the basketball courts of the house development he manages and after 2 mos (with notices posted) no one claimed them so they became the dogs' toys.  My girl really loves the size and you can still kick it around even without air.  She's punctured it in severals places but since it kept it's shape she can still roll it around.  She's been playing with her current one every day for about 4 months now

Santa should just avoid my house all together. For one, none of us were on the nice list and Santa's fat ass in that puffy get-up looks to much like a decoy in a suit. And  that bag of toys....Oh yeah that's getting ripped to shreds. 

I have No Idea yet, Bruno is ball obsessed, so a new ball of some type for him, Sadie just destructs everything.... and Kai just pinches whatever they have lol... maybe a straight jacket for him!
