"I'm amazed the floor ever gets dry." Hehehe... and that is one of the reasons that I ripped all the carpet out of my house, and have laminate flooring. MUCH easier to clean up.

Also, the other problem with ice cubes is she might crunch down a few times, but then she leaves them to melt wherever. Between that and her dribbling I'm amazed the floor ever gets dry.

Jes-- the only reason that ice cubes didn't make the list is that she hasn't gotten as many in the winter time. She has been known to run into the kitchen when she hears the ice maker. Once this summer, she took her ice cube and laid down right on one of the AC vents. Must have been quite warm that day. We haven't tried green beans yet, though-- thanks!

Ice cubes. No calories, they won't upset her stomach, they skitter across the floor to be chased for extra fun.
Also, most dogs like canned green beans.

Cosette, do note that the 7lb shih tzu-poodle mix goes through the TJ's chicken jerky in about 15 minutes so it'll likely be a three-chomper for Kora. :)

Jesus, I have no idea how Kora would react to a bunny...

Phantom, the squeakers were with the Kong toys at our local pet supply store. They look like clear bubble things. I covered hers with a bit of polar fleece before putting it in the canvas to make it harder to get to. Leigh- thanks for the headsup on the jerky- next time I'm at Trader Joe's I'll look for it. Unknownbinaries, I'm sure pigs ears are tasty, but I just can't deal with them (despite what Bully Sticks are, they don't look like animal bit as much as the ears do). Kora does love rope, but the huge cotton one we had for her kept getting consumed, so it's on the shelf for now. I don't think we'll try the Doritos (although she licked up some Tabasco tonight and seemed to be fine with that...) Siege, I'm sure Rorschach could teach Kora many thing about her favorite foods-- when can they meet to discuss it? :-)

Rorschach likes dandelion greens and yogurt bites. But then she's a bunny. So...

My dad's Lab loved the hell out of dried pigs' ears, the kind that look like you maybe went hunting on Deep Space Nine? They never lasted too long, though.

The nylon ropes, about the length and thickness of a forearm, seemed to be a hit with my mom's dog, who liked to chew on damned near anything. She also liked Doritos quite a bit.

At Trader Joe's (and other places but I like their's best), they have chicken breast jerkey for dogs. That's Bitsy's after bath treat and she noms like crazy!

Where can you get plain squeakers??
My dog makes it her mission to tear out the squeaker of every toy we've ever given her. After that, it's useless to her.
