You haven't thrown away the receipt yet. The new toy was supposed to keep your dog busy for a while. Technically, it did. For about five minutes. Now there is stuffing on the rug and your dog is delighted with the whole experience.

Why do dogs always try to remove the stuffing? Can we enjoy the outside for a moment? It has a face! It seems the outside is not the fun part. They can't let a stuffed duck look like a duck for at least one afternoon.

The packaging always makes me feel optimistic. I read words like "though" and picture many afternoons of playtime with the toy. Surely this one will last, I think, innocently. Then I get home and realize I was being very positive with both the toy and my dog. Still, that stuffed dinosaur is adorable. How sad that today is its final day.

What gets me is how pleased dogs can look afterward. You are holding what remains of a toy you bought that morning, trying to work out if it counts as a toy. Your dog is standing beside you, looking like this was a perfect afternoon. Apparently, the purchase was a success. I wish someone had explained that to my wallet. And to the mess in my living room. 

And sometimes the wrecked version of the toys becomes the favorite. A nice and new replacement can be over there while your dog keeps choosing the same flattened animal that barely resembles anything anymore. But it's hard to take the situation seriously when the proud owner of that wreckage comes over to show you. Thank you for bringing me this, buddy. I see you've been busy. If you could help me gather up the stuffing, that would make this a much fairer arrangement.

It's Chewsday! The toys had a rough time and the pups had the best time of their lives. Dog owners are reconsidering what qualifies as getting their money's worth. Anyways, the next trip to the store will end with another toy in the bag. Next time will be different.
