I seriously think that if we didn't have any stuffed toys for Boomer to squeak with that he'd go into depression. lol Seriously.
When we arrive home, or during any higher stress moments, the first thing Boomer does is grab and stuffy, come over to see us and does his entire body wag, and a weird gurgle, while holding and squeaking his stuffy.
I can see how some dogs might have no interesting in it, just not their thing. But with other dogs, like Boomer, it's a must..lol Even Tilly needs her fuzzy squeaky fix.
Kassie, not so much, she's more into shaking the living out of beanie babies. I think she's more of a bean bag girl.
