Emrys went crazy for it and has dominated it but Bergamot
got in a few tugs with her. She especially enjoyed running
around and shaking it at a gallop. Bergamot got to have a
turn eventually and really enjoyed holding it down and having
a good gnaw. Very stretchy, chewable and floppy! See the Chewapalooza
test photos.
Beast Review:
reviewed
April, 2004
A really fun fetch and chew toy. Both Beasts like to fetch
it and like to run with it flopping out of their mouths. Emrys
really enjoyed holding it between her paws and pulling on
it. The Beasts attempted a few double-dog tuggie sessions
but backed off after someone let go with a snap. They seem
to have decided to only play tug with the Chewapalooza when
a human toy holder can be the recipient of the snap!...SmartLittle Monsters.
"I would like a turn!" ~ Bergamot Fury
"When I run with it, it tickles
me in the face...when Bergamot tries to pull it out
of my mouth, I let go and it hits him in the face! This
is the toy I have been dreaming of!"
~ Emrys
Durability:
The Beasts have not been able to put a mark on the Chewapalooza.
They have had it for 5 days and have dedicated themselves
to chewing and pulling on it.
Lifespan:
Still counting from April 20th 2004.
Cost vs. Durability:
I think this is going to be a keeper - the knots have not
even loosened and there is not a tooth mark to be seen. The
Chewapalooza is a unique toy that really grabbed the Beasts
attention! I think it will bring many months of chewy &
tuggy fun. As an added bonus the toys are made to benefit
Scoopy's animal shelter.
Safety:
The Beasts haven't put a dent in it yet - but as always keep
an eye on your Boston Terrier with any toy. It should be removed
if it begins to show chew damage. I would also use care during
tug-o-war that no one gets snapped in the face.
