First of all: What is a Dog Woobie?
A Dog Woobie is a long, about 12 inches or longer,
Stuffed Dog toy, usually shaped like a dog.
Some of them have squeakers, some do not.
It is totally up to you if you want to put a squeaker in
it or not. My Rosie Bell, aka Chihuahua model # 2,
is terrified of the Squeaking sound and runs away
from them. Maximo, aka Chihuahua model #1,
on the other hand, loves the Squeaker and loves to
make it squeak, but probably just to annoy Rosie.
Note about Squeakers and dogs:
My friend has a Doxie who loves to eat toys with squeakers in them. She had to take him to the vet for emergency surgery because he had swallowed the squeaker out of his woobie,
not one of mine, and it had lodged in his intestine.
not one of mine, and it had lodged in his intestine.
He almost died. So All My Woobies will not have the
Squeakers in them.
Maximo says, "Don't touch my Woobie"!
