Greta’s best Dobie friend has a rope ball toy identical to the one we got Greta, so we thought this new toy would be a “gimme.” We forgot that Greta’s penchant for chewing is far more obsessive than her buddy, Raven’s. The ball actually floats in water and is easier to find at the dog park than some of Greta’s tennis balls, but the moment she decided to keep the ball for herself and not give it back, she handily separated the ball section from the woven rope in only a few bites. So, now she has two toys that are better for choking than playing and we have had to remove the toy entirely. The six leashes, two harnesses, and one collar she has chewed through in three minutes or less should have been a forewarning that a rope toy would be rather wasteful, but we just didn’t get the message. It’s back to regular old tennis balls for this Dobie.
