Actually, it's a stuffed pheasant toy. Shelley gnaws her bones and all hard plastic toys to bits, but tends her stuffed toys carefully. She still has the mallard duck stuffed toy she had as a tiny pup (its squeaker however is long since come unsqueaked.) She used to have a bright neon orange stuffed hedgehog with four little hard rubber feet (in tennis shoes). She very carefully chewed all four feet off close to the body, but takes very good care of the rest of the hedgehog.

I guess it's her "soft mouth" heritage not to chew anything that feels like it might be feathers. She sure doesn't. She once caught a tufted titmouse in flight and brought it to me completely unharmed (that bird had a story to tell his wife when he got home!)

LOL! Another Python fan?

My dogs have chewed everything they've been given. Kodi like to chew the fuzz off tennis balls and then pop them.

My first dog, Sam, had a rubber squeeky hedgehog, he'd run all over the house squeaking it. He never chewed it up for some reason. He chewd all his other toys.
