Uhmmm....hi. Hi.


We got Lionel a year ago last Monday. I think he weighed 20 lbs? We are estimating he weighs 160-165 right now. I bet his head alone weighs 30 lbs. The dog is big. As I type, he is laying on the dining room floor meticulously unraveling and obliterating a rope pull toy.


You have to feel bad for the kid, he destroys almost any toy in five minutes. Stuffed animals with squeakers? Gone--3 minutes. I got him a stuffed alligator toy with 16 squeakers, half were non-functioning before we were out of the Petco parking lot. He loves--LOVES---tennis balls, but now they are too small for his maw. I am afraid he will choke. Kong Brand does make a bunch of bigger toys that are covered in the tennis ball fuzz. He loves to delicately peel back the fuzz with his front teeth. AND they have squeakers. He still has to be watched with those; he goes for the squeakers first, gets those out, then goes about chewing off chunks of the rubber. We thought he was just Cookie Monstering it (chewing and the pieces fall out the side of his mouth) but today I caught him chewing a sizable piece of the tennis ball like it was chewing gum.


The only, ONLY, toy that is has not been able to destroy is the black rubber Kong. The red one? Shredded.
