Aggressive and persistent chewer

I have strong teeth and I like to use them on my toys, I love chewing fabric toys and tearing them to pieces. This means that my toys don’t last all that long and it is a challenge to find one that lasts more than a week. I pride myself on my chewing abilities. The following email exchanges demonstrates my worth:

Email 1: from my human owner

I have just bought, an Ancol, ‘Extremely Tough Dog Toy’, ‘Small Dog Tuffie’, as my dog loves fabric toys but they come rather expensive as he certainly can be described as an ‘aggressive and persistent chewer’. He is a Border Terrier. Seduced by your description, hoping it might last a week or two, I bought the toy. It lasted five minutes before he got through the outer layer, and the lining, to the inner material. I thought you should know! It doesn’t work for ‘aggressive and persistent chewers’ for any reasonable stretch of time. Dog lover as I am, I think £3.99 for 5 minutes pleasure is a little steep.

Email 2: the reply

We were sorry to receive the contents of your  e mail and are sorry this item has not lived up to the usual Ancol standard

 

We are not the Manufacturer but the distributor, so we will address this with our suppliers.

 

Meantime please kindly return the offending toy to your retailer for an exchange/ refund

 

Once again our apologies.

 

regards

Victory!:

Ha ha! I shall destroy all offending toys! Woof!

Burning the heather at Dartmoor

I had a trip to Dartmoor last week and they were burning the heather – all very dramatic. I love being a Devonshire dog!

More snow

It is still very wintery in Exeter and more snow has landed. I’m getting used to this white stuff, so when it came down I was out in the garden have a play and a run around. Watch me go!

Totnes

As I mentioned in my New Year’s Resolutions, this year I am determined to learn to travel by train. It will open a whole world of possibilities. So this week I went on a train journey to Totnes, which is a small town in Devon, half an hour away by train from Exeter. It is a really nice town and had lots of exciting smells for me to investigate. It also has some nice shops but as a doggy I wasn’t allowed  in the majority of them.

Here is a photo of me climbing around the platform at the train station whilst waiting for the train home.
