America's Most Wanted -- Serial Stuffie Killer Strikes Again

Warning: You may want to censor this post from those
that are sensitive to violence and destruction

This is an update on the case of the Serial Stuffie Killer. The serial stuffie killer has gone on a rampage. Here is some of his latest victims.

This stuffie had half of his body eaten off. Sad. There had been a whole family of these and the stuffie serial killer has pretty much wiped them out.


Poor Rudolph was decapitated.



Flappie was gutted.



Mr. Bill (from Boris Kitty's Human 2) was almost two years old before his mouth was eaten. He is in intensive care and has a 50-50 chance of surviving.


A composite drawing has been developed by terrified witnesses with the help of a police sketch artist. This picture is being circulated across the country. Please report any sitings to local law enforcement. DO NOT try to apprehend the stuffie serial killer on your own. He is armed and extremely dangerous.


More to come soon . . .

Sigh, Another Stuffie Bites the Dust

Duh Duh Duh Duh another one bites the dust ....

I was just chatting with my pal Teeny the other night on Twitter about how we had finally found some indestructible stuffies. I have all kinds of strong toys that last a long time but not really any stuffies. Mom read about HuggleHounds on a blog she reads occasionally and decided we would try some. After all, they were using a patent pending tuff toy process.

I had my HuggleHounds Octopus and Reindeer (it was on sale and I don't think they are just for Christmas) for a whole month and I was having fun and there wasn't the slightest hole.

Here are some of the pictures mom took of me with them.

I'm munching on the reindeer's ear and the octopus has rolled over

This is a good shot of the Octopus (well, the before shot anyway)


The very next night, I am not joking, mom comes home and is starting to relax. She picks up the octopus and there is a HOLE IN HIS HEAD!


You know what this means? I must be a ZOMBIE because apparently I like STUFFIE BRAINS.

BRAINS, BRAINS ....

Well mom does what she normally does to save a stuffie for a while. She removed all the stuffin' and let me have the Octopus back. Sadly the best squeaker went in the drawer. It's my favorite kind of squeaker, the one they wrap up with cotton around in plastic so it is real sounding squeak. It is a very well made toy though because all of the Octopus tentacles are still self contained with their knots and squeakers in tact. So, there is still lots of fun left in the ole' girl.

I probably shouldn't say anything but the reindeer is still fine .... for now.

These toys are really well made and it has been a long time that any stuffie lasted anywhere near this long so I give them two paws up! To give you an idea, here is a glimpse of the stuffie destruction I am responsible for. These are the toys that I am still allowed to play with. Many others have gone to their grave (put out of their misery). Teeny do you see the beaver? That is Justin2.

Shawnee's Kwestshuns

Shawnee asked me and some other of her friends to answer five kwestshuns. I have been thinking on them for several days. Here are the kwestshuns with the answers.

1. Wot be you fave toy or stuffie?

I have two qualities for a great toy: fun and durable. I have a reputation for killing my toys and it's true. I love them too much. So I have to go for my waggle. The waggle is very sturdy. I have had it many months and it is perfectly without any damage. And it sure is fun because when you shake it, little treats come out! What could be better?

2. Wot is the one thing you would most like to change about the werld?

I would have every dog, cat, bunny, bird and other anipal have a forever home where they were loved and taken care of like me.


3. If'n you could has one super powah, wot would it be?

I would want to be able to fly. I think it would kind of feel like swimming only better cause the water wouldn't go up my nose. I watch birds a lot and I would like to see everything from up in the sky.


4. Wot is you most skeered of?

I am scared of running out of sticks. Chasing sticks, chewing sticks and eating sticks is my life but sometimes I can't find any. I run around and around looking for more and sometimes I can't find them. Usually there are some more the next time I go play but I am scared that one day they will be all gone. Do you think I should worry?


5. Wot does you see in the pikshur below?
I think that inky picture looks like Button surrounded by her toys. When I first looked at it, I thought it looked familiar but I just couldn't figure it out. Then I saw her post with her answers to the kwestshuns and I said "Ah ha! That's it!" Yep, that's definitely Buttons in her pile of toys with a couple of toys escaping from the pile at the bottom.


Now for my five kwestshuns:

  1. What is your favorite treat?
  2. What is your favorite thing to do with your human(s)?
  3. What is your favorite thing to do outside?
  4. If you could meet one famous animal or person, who would it be?
  5. If you could go one place in the world, where would it be?
And now for the pals I would like to ask these kwestshuns of: @BunnyJeanCook (Bunny's Blog); my largest pal @Brutusthedane (Brutusthedane's blog); @Mariodacat (Mario's Meowsings) and I know he will not be able to answer until after the Anipal Academy Awards; @TeenysFriends at Teeny's Friends; and @GrouchyPuppy at Cleo's Day. My pals, please answer my five kwestshuns to you and make up five kwestshuns and give them to five friends.

Shake Shake Shake then Hop Hop Hop

I am excited about the second week of Blog Hop and I am throwing my bloggie in the mix again, hoping to find some new cool blogs to follow and some friends who write the blogs.

But before we get on to the hop, I wanted to share this video mom took of me and my Busy Buddy Waggle (just happens to be on clearance at Nip and Bones and I have the medium/large one). I love this toy. Mom fills it up with my treats twice a day. She breaks the small training treats in half and also cut some things inside the waggle so the treats came out a little easier. I shake the waggle and treats fall out. You can see in this video how much I enjoy it. Sadly, mom only had her Blackberry handy and the light was low. She got a video editor software thingee she is just learning to use so she was able to add some light but it is not the best video.



Well, after the shakin' it's time for the HOP! Blog Hop that is:

New Toys!

As many of you may know if you read my bloggie, I am a little hard on my toys, especially the stuffed variety. So mom tries really hard to find toys that are extra strong. Even if they don't last as long as she wants, she figures it's better that I eat a toy than the furniture or other stuff that mom and dad like.

So on payday mom finally moved some items out of the @NipandBonesLLC wish list to the order cart. Yay! She made dad promise he wouldn't open the box until she was home in case they came when she was in New York. This is because sometimes the toy gets destroyed before she can get a picture.When mom came home for work on Monday there was the box straight from @BabyPatches. I knew it was here cause @BabyPatches told me she saw the delivery confirmation. Mom gave me all three new toys at once so she could see which one was my favorite.

Hands down the favorite was the Busy Buddy Waggle. Mom ordered the medium/large one for me because I am a big doggie. The small one would be good for toy queen @busybuttons.

The beauty of the Busy Buddy Waggle is that in combines a really strong rubbery chew toy with treats. Mom puts some of my little training treats inside and they come out gradually. I learned right away that if I munch the ball end it makes the treats get littler and they come out faster.

You can see that I was really sliming this toy and maybe a little bit the bed cover. Sorry mom. Oh and it looks like I'm overdue for a nail trim. By the way, the waggle is on sale at Nip and Bones!

My second toy was a duckie so I could join the duckie club. This is a really strong duckie. You could tug and tug all day and it would never tear or open up. However, if your intention is to eat the head, you might be successful. Just saying.

At Nip and Bones, this guy, who I named Sir Quacksalot, is a Pentapull. They come in 4 different animals. The Duckie, cow, hedgehog and squirrel. It says they are Dog Approved for tugging, pulling, and shaking and that is really true. It passed the Yoda tug test.


The last of my new toys is really fun but I need help to play with it. It is a really cool Kong Tug Toy. This toy is also on sale at Nip and Bones. I have been having a great time tugging with mom and dad with this new toy. Read the instructions and keep out of doggie's reach when not playing because it is not a chewing toy and some foolish doggie might try to eat it.


I told mom to leave my eyes green for this one since it make me look even more fierce. I look like I deserve my spikey collar with this toy.


All in all, I got quite a haul! Well, maybe I'm not up to @BusyButtons toy box yet.

My Present from Shawnee

Yesterday my mom got to meet Shawnee and her mom while she was on the way from the Shorty Awards in New York City. Shawnee wrote a great blog about it and since she was there, you should read that for the details.

In addition to sending me some good smells (thanks for pointing out the shoe Shawnee that was a good one) and doggy hair on mom's clothes, Shawnee sent me the neatest gift. It is a green gecko just like that little guy on the TV commercials only better - this one has two squeakers and stretches real good in the middle. As Shawnee pointed out, it is a good toy for me because it doesn't have much stuffing in it. All of you that read my bloggie should know my history with stuffed animals!

Usually even the ones without stuffing are not safe. While we were on vacation I got one of those and I just ate it piece by piece. So far so good - it's almost 24 hours and the gecko is doing great. He may be missing one of his paws but otherwise he is perfectly healthy and I have been playing with him a lot. So great toy choice Shawnee!

This is when mom first gave me the present bag

Notice I put my face all the way in the bag - I could smell Shawnee's whole family

Next I will go through my routine for testing my new toys:

It squeaks real good

It's fun throwing it in the air

I like testing my toys from all angles, especially upside down
Shawnee's mom gave my mom good advice on how to fix my eye here but
she left this one cause it matches the gecko!

The final test is the nommy level. For this test I have a video. Mom now realizes this was when I was working on eating the poor gecko's paw. I didn't quite get it before the end of the video.




My two favoritest toys right now - Gecko and my bone


This is my Buttons imitation - using my toy as a pillow!

All I can say is Shawnee gives really good presents! Her mom also gave me something called a supplement. Mom says it will make my coat even more handsome. Dad was a little worried about the "sustained energy level" aspect.

Poor Pelican

Warning: Explicit violence if you are one of my stuffed plush anipals

As many of you might know, my mom works for Virginia State Parks. She usually is in on the details when they have deep merchandise sales, like usually when they are discontinuing something. For instance, for their 70th anniversary in 2006 they had a 70" copperhead plush snake. There were stuffed snakes everywhere! I think they finally got rid of them all this fall.

I loved those snakes - one LONG toy with lots of stuffing. They were on sale a long time at $5 and mom would pick them up for me. Since I have a bad history with plush toys, $5 was a good deal. The snakes would last me a little while because as I made a hole, mom would pull out stuffing and it would be ok for a while Dad gave her a hard time but all she had to do was show dad his blanket and ask what dad would rather I chew on. The snake won every time.

Then one sad day all the snakes were finally gone. : (

The woman in mom's office, Pat, who orders stuff showed her the sale items the week before Christmas. She had shown mom the pelican before but when he was full price mom knew it would be a mistake.

You can't see but the pelican has a stick in his back side so the human can hold the puppet. The stick was plastic instead of wood but still nommy.

This was the day I got the Pelican - not a factory second. Mommy couldn't even get the picture taken before one eye was gone. Second eye followed right after the picture.

Two weeks later the eyes are gone, the beak is hanging and mom has taken out most of the beak and head stuffing so it doesn't make the house MESSY. The stick is gone too. Mom was holding it and we were playing and I grabbed the pelican and mom still had the chewed up stick. Stick went in trash. Mom is spoil sport.

This is today. Last night I ripped his tummy out so mom had to take all the stuffing from his insides. He is still fun because he is still poofy cause of his fake fur wings.

I am hoping the pelicans are still on sale.

Chewing is my Life

I am a world class chewer. Here I am making headway on a bone from the big red bag mom gets me from @bestbullysticks (http://www.bestbullysticks.com).





Fortunately, I have a couple of toys I have so far been unable to destroy. One is my goughnut from my friend @babypatches (http://www.suppliesjustforpets.com). Here I am playing with my goughnut with my dad.
