The Toy Challenge
> Posted by Angie Brennan on April 11, 2008 at 8:51 AM

Norman was once again totally stoked by his new toy. This week we took a trip to Pet's Mart and found a very loud and animated octopus. (FYI, I couldn't find these on Pet's Mart website)

Squeeze Meeze Jr. Octopus has crazy extendable arms that spring outward when squeezed. This freaked Norman out at first (in a good way) and he was out of control with excitement.

The Squeeze Meeze Jr. is made out of latex and, unless Norman rips a hole in it, I don't think he will be able to "kill" the squeaker.

The toys range from $3.99 for the Jr. brand (made for smaller dogs) to $5.99 for the regular size.

This is a toy that will keep your dog entertained for hours. (Well, that is if your dog is anything like Norman, obsessed and relentless.)

Please watch your pets closely with these toys. My Dachshund chewed and swalalowed some of the latex and became quite ill. Buyer beware.

Thanks for letting us know. After you posted I noticed that Norman did in fact rip off one of the legs. Luckly, for me he is not the type of dog who swallows his toys.

Attention all you Dachshund owners. If you have been looking for a harness that was designed just for dachshunds please visit my web site. I got so frustrated at not being able to fine a harness that gave so me lower back support and one that looked stylis and afforable I decided to design one myself. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. There is no other harness like it and it is Patent Pending
Thank you
