Toy	The Boys’ Ruffiew	The Girls’ Ruffiew	Guest Ruffiew	Owner
KONG Safestix Dog Toy	Titan: This was a great chew. I chewed it in half. It was great ripping after the rubber.			It only took Titan two days to rip it in two. An embarrassing plus is once this dog toy is in two pieces it looks like an item someone would buy from the Adam and Eve store. I like to thank Titan for leaving it at the foot of my bed the day I had a party.
Kong Wubba			This comes from our friend, Jan. Her 6-month-old Australian Shepherd destroyed this toy in only 1.5 days. This toy is a don’t buy.	Many members of the Australian Shepherd group comment that their dogs had quickly destroyed this toy also.
Kong Aqua	Titan: I can tell that it’s great. Rorschach: Don’t swim.	Bella: A kong that floats. Fetch and swimming is the best. Ash: Bella and I play tug with it all the time.	Titan’s extended family give this toy a must buy. The enjoy swimming with them and playing tug. The Kong last for months but the string is gone in one.	If you have swimming dogs this is a good buy.
Homemade Toys	Titan: The pop bottle that rolls out food is the greatest. Rorschach: The water bottle sound is the best. I also like jumping on empty two-liter bottles.	Bella: Just give me the food. Ash: Bottles are the best.		Please click on the link to the left.
KONG Squeezz Ball with Handle	Titan: It’s great when my boy throws it. You can never have too many balls. Rorschach: I don’t understand why they put a cord on a ball so I chewed it off.	Bella: It’s a ball and a tug. A very nice change of pace. Ash: The big dogs wouldn’t let me at it.		I thought the dogs would love to play tug with it. But they just want to chase it. Rorschach had no problem chewing the bungee off. I give it a buy when it’s on sale for $5
Kong Dumbbell	Titan: I’m not a dumbbell and I will not chase one.			It looks like a nice toy but it doesn’t squeak anymore and none of the dogs will play with it.
Outward Hound Fire Biterz, lizard.	Titan: It was fun to tear the feet off. Rorschach: I would love to test the indestructible properties of this toy but Titan keeps taking it from me	Bella: Titan refuses to use this toy for the tug.		The squeakers stop working after a day save your money.
Sumo Large Bone Yellow	Titan: Great toy, I had to get big to break it.			Was great for chewing, until he got past fifty pounds.
SINGLE FLYING DISC ASST COLORS	Titan: My master kept trying to get me to catch it in the air, dunno why?	Bella: The humans were stuck on the concept of me capturing this in the air.		It’s a standard Frisbee nothing more nothing less.
Mammoth Cottonblend 5 Knot Dog Rope Toy	Titan: Best tugging rope ever. Rorschach: I don’t quite get the concept of pulling something but the others seem to enjoy it.	Bella: Useful for a three-way tug but not when you want to take it from humans.		Pretty large and withstood two German shepherds for quite a while.
Multipet Multicrew Monkey Dog Toy	Titan: It tore very easily, was fun to De-fluff			It tore too easily
Outward Hound Hide A Squirrel	Titan: Very smart choice buying the squirrels in bulk, more for me to tear. Rorschach: Finding each squirrel was a treat until the brute tore them apart	Bella: I like to play tug with the trunk		If you can get it for under $12 it’s a deal.
Rorschach	Best friend, he sleeps a lot though. Buy your dog their own dog. Rorschach: The existential quandaries this review opened often wake me from my brief respites in a cold slobber.	I refuse to treat this as a legitimate review. My puppy is not a toy.		He’s NOT a toy Titan!
JW Pet Rockin’ Treat Ball	Titan: It’s a ball that gives you food if you need anything else in life something is wrong with you Rorschach: The treats came out too easily so the humans stopped using it.	Bella: The quality of the treats really dropped after the first few days		It’s still together.
Starmark Everlasting Bento Ball with Dental Treat Dog Chew Toy, Large	Titan: Was a great treat, Don’t quite understand the rubber parts of it but still cool. Rorschach: Let me state that I had no intention to amuse my self with such a tawdry toy. So I was not offended when titan broke it in preparation for my visit.	Bella: It’s a good concept but food doesn’t exit the bottom so you have to keep buying the big treats		Doesn’t work.
Ethical Pet Seek-A-Treat Shuffle Bone Puzzle Dog Toy	Titan: It’s a giant chunk of wood that you can chew on so it’s perfect. Bonus: occasionally has treats in it. Rorschach: This was my introduction to puzzle toys and it ignited the flame within me to decoded enigmas in this universe.	Bella: It’s a simple toy but not really worth all the work since I move the whole thing every time I mean to move a piece.		If your dog likes puzzles it’s good.
KONG Classic Dog Toy, Large	Titan: Great for chewing. biting, throwing, catching, chasing, and chewing. Sometimes there is peanut butter in it so that’s cool. Rorschach: So I’m familiar with a miniature eggshell blue version of this that the human fills with food and freeze to help soothe the torment of teething.	Bella: It’s like a red ball but the humans can’t throw it as far.		Great Kong Product
KONG Goodie Bone	Titan: Durable, bendable, and treats come out of the ends. One thing I would improve is to make it an actual bone. Rorschach: A fun toy to play with and the brute can’t break it.	Bella: I can chew on it but it’s not a ball so it’s not really worth anything.		Daily used by Titan for over a year and still in one piece. It’s a great buy.
KONG Ball Dog Toy, Large	Titan: Ball, it’s a ball and it’s easy to find. Also hard to break Rorschach: It’s an easily located ball that is hard to tear apart. Its weight is problematic but time will change that.	Bella: It’s one of the most common balls we have in my home and my favorite.		Lasts for years.
KONG Squeezz Ball Dog Toy, Color Varies, Medium	Titan: A ball that squeaks and last a whole week. A WHOLE WEEK. Rorschach: A ball that can withstand the crushing maw of Titan for a week and still managed to squeak after a day.	Bella: It’s a ball that squeaks.		It took Titan a week to trash it. So, a nice buy/
KONG AirDog Squeakair Ball Dog Toy, Medium	Titan: It’s a tennis ball that squeaks. I didn’t even think that was possible. Rorschach: Neon yellow ball that fooled me into believing it was a tennis ball until I got my muzzle on it	Bella: It’s light ball that squeaks and is easy to find, a solid throwing toy		A tennis ball is cheaper. An ok buy if your dog loves squeakers.
KONG Jumbler Ball Dog Toy, Color Varies, Large/X-Large	Titan: One of my Favorites, it’s a toy that can be destroyed and you still get a toy out of it. Rorschach: The fact that humans would put a ball within a ball still perplexes me. If it’s a built-in redundancy that would be genius but it just seems to be a way to encourage the dog to tear apart their toy	Bella: I got to play with this twice before titan destroyed it. Ash: Titan got his jaw stuck in this broken toy when I was visiting. Throw out broken toys.		I’m torn on this one. I’m not happy with how easy it rips but Titan loves it. So, it’s a maybe buy.
KONG Duets Boomerang Dog Toy, Medium	Titan: I have never played with this toy but I know it’s awesome Rorschach: Yes, I am aware that a puppy having a toy that is half raddle is humorous. I encourage you to open your mind and not to play into such trivialities.	Bella: It’s my puppies toy DON’T TOUCH IT!. Ash: Rorschach ran out of the room with it and hide it. So, I can’t ruffiew it.		Rorschach loves it. It’s standing up to the puppy well.
KONG Puppy Flyer Dog Toy	Titan: It’s a small water bowl, the humans let me play with it so I’m not complaining. Rorschach: Remarkably rubbery frisbee that can reciprocate a water repository.	Bella: They throw it, it’s not a ball though so I don’t care.		The puppy doesn’t get it. But it is very durable and can be left with the dog. Maybe I should give it a red bone, everytime I take it to the dog park someone tries to steal it.
KONG Wild Knots Bear Dog Toy, Color Varies, Medium/Large	Titan: Squeakers are easy to break but everything else is a challenge. I took care of their smiles though Rorschach: Yes I understand the baby adores his teddy bear. you are quite humorous.Understand these are the few toys the Canis lepophgus can’t destroy so I have to appreciate them.	Bella: The humans don’t throw these toys so I don’t care for them		A furry friend that can stand up to the toy destroyer is a have to buy. Chewy will sell them for $2.50 for time to time.
KONG® Cozie Spunky Monkey Dog Toy	Titan: They won’t let me play with it. Rorschach: One of my initial toys that I have grown quite fond of due to its durability.	Bella: Squeakers fun to play with but it eventually broke on me. Ash: I enjoy fighting over this toy with Bella and Rorschach. I am quickly learning both of their weaknesses.		Another furry that stands up to dogs even when they use it as a tug.
KONG Tuggerknots Moose Dog Toy, Medium/Large	Titan: One of the few stuffed toys my master has let me keep. Rorschach: A great introductory tug for young dogs, They quickly become attached to the stuffed animal but soon learn how to maintain ownership of it when another dog desires it.	Bella: Simple tug, good against dogs great against humans.		Like the Kong Knot bears this Moose has survived Titan for over two months. It’s a great buy.
Outward Hound Firehose Squeak N Fetch Dog Toy, Medium	Titan: It’s a squeaker toy that floats in the pool. Sure I just started to like the pool but I’ve always liked this toy. Rorschach: Unfortunately, I have an aversion to aquatics so I will abstain from the amusement applied by this trinket	Bella: It’s a throwing toy that goes into the pool and doesn’t require me to drink every time I grab it.		Outstanding water toy. Must buy for all swimming dogs.
Ethical Pet Crunchables Ball Dog Toy, Color Varies, 2.5-inch	Titan: Really fun and crunchy, I think it’s designed to break. Rorschach: The ball perfectly replicates the soothing symphony of crunching water bottles without drawing the ire of the humans.	Bella: It’s a ball that makes a sound other than squeaking.		The crunch sound is gone after an hour. Then it’s just a ball.
Chuckit! Max Glow Ball, Medium	Titan: It’s a magic ball that turns neon green at night. Rorschach: The phosphorus properties of this plaything permit playing past photonic periods.	Bella: With this ball, humans have no excuse not to play in the middle of the night.		It’s a ball at a good price and it’s easy to find when it gets dark. Very good buy.
JW Pet Play Place Butterfly Puppy Teether, Color Varies	Rorschach: I don’t understand the justification behind the design but the humans would always offer it to me gelid.	Ash: Butterfly is very fast and hard to catch. The soft rubber makes my gums feel so good.		Doesn’t stay cold long effect after being removed from the freezer. It’s an ok buy, Ice works just as well.
Nylabone DuraChew Dental Chew Dino Dog Toy, Large no blog entry	Rorschach: The human kept reiterating that the Stegosaurus had a power to it, he lied.	It’s hard and not a ball so whatever.		Don’t buy dogs won’t touch them and they eat other dental chews.
Outward Hound Invincibles Squeaker Palz Gator Dog Toy	Titan: I only got to play with this for a few minutes before the humans took it away but it was awesome I took its head off. Rorschach: I love this toy, each squeaker holds my attention hostage till I start masticating.	Bella: This toy is fun but it’s not a ball so it’s okay.		I’m giving this an OK to buy only because Rorschach loves it. But it is overpriced and far from invincible.
Standard LaCrosse Ball	Titan: Ball, It’s a ball, IT IS A BALL. That’s all you need to know Rorschach: The humans throw it I bring it back and they throw it again. I lose my urge to play with it after a few rounds.	Bella: It’s a ball that the humans can throw very far.		Outstanding buy it’s half the price of a Kong ball and just as durable.
iFetch Too Interactive Ball Launcher Dog Toy	Titan: It’s a toy that throws balls. It keeps throwing them at my chest but that’s fine. Rorschach: Not only does this toy require you to play fetch but the big dogs stand in front of it instead of letting it throw the ball	Bella: This toy does throw balls but it’s scary and Titan keeps sitting in front of it keeping it from throwing.		See the full review.
Trixie Dog Activity Flip Board Toy, Black	Titan: I can’t really play with this thing but I think I can tear those little bones off. Rorschach: The lever took me a while to understand but the challenge was amusing. The humans refuse to let me carouse with the miniature pillars.	Bella: It moves around like that wooden puzzle when I try to play with it.		Great buy if your dog likes puzzles. though the pillars may become a chew toy for your animal.
Tennis Ball	Titan: BALLLL!!!!! Rorschach: Why is it Yellow?	Bella; BALL!!!		Cheap ball but it won’t last long.
LaCrosse Stick	Titan: The humans use this to throw balls even farther than normal. Rorschach: It is a throwing utensil that amplifies the humans launching capabilities.	Bella: BUY AS MANY AS YOU CAN. HUMANS USE THIS TO THROW BALLS SO FAR AWAY.		Great way to keep your hands clean and easy work to throw the ball a 50 to 70 yards. Must have for active dogs owners.
Bully Stick	Titan: Greatest chew in the world. I can eat a foot long stick in 2 hours Rorschach: Simply Superb Salavating Snack	Bella: They are great when other dogs want them.		Keeps dog busy for hours. Top buy.
Kitchen Floor Rorschach thought Titan’s kitchen needed a new floor	Titan: They yelled at me when I tried to dig up the leaves but the puppy gets away with everything. Rorschach: They had cherry cabinets and with this flooring, it was simply gosh. The room demanded a remodeling, I took the initiative.			…… I did need to redo the flooring in the kitchen.
