SQUEAK

Doug's previous Labrador, Sandy, would destroy any toy in a matter of hours.  About 20 years ago a friend gave him Squeak, a Dinosaur Egg, soft latex rubber toy that squeaks when you squeeze it and a head pops out.

Doug did not expect Squeak to last very long but she is still going although the Latex is starting to perish with age. 

When Sandy died in 2011 Doug was not going to get another dog but relented and took on Sophie who had been left 24/7 on a deck.  Her owners were going overseas and she was going to be put down as no-one wanted her.  Doug being soft hearted took her in.

Sophie has never been interested in toys except Squeak.  She treats her like her baby and picks her up gently and gets upset if she squeaks.  She takes her to bed and everywhere else.




As you can see she  is covered in hair and a little worse for wear but still intact - not bad after 20 years.

  1. It looks a tiny bit creepy, but Labs are never happy unless they have something in their mouths (usually food).

    1. She is definitely a Seefood dog and so gentle with Squeak.

    1. SZqueak is doing well for 20 years old but Doug is sure he has a second in one of the sheds.

  4. Squeak is kinda cool looking. If I were a dog, that would be my type of toy. :)
