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!

Trip to Otterton

Today I’ve been on a walk to Otterton. It was a very enjoyable walk, I saw another Border Terrier! This one was 10 years old – so old!! But he was still out enjoying his walk, I plan to keep going on at fall pelt for a long time. The humans kept on talking about how wonderful Border Terriers are, so I wagged my tail in agreement!

When we got to Otterton, I had a look around the Mill, which is an old flour and bread Mill turned into cafe and shop. I wanted to have lunch there but we went off to a doggy friendly pub where we could go inside to enjoy the warm. I am very well behaved inside pubs, but I did want to play with some of the other doggys. Unfortunately the food in the pub aparently wasn’t up to standard so I think next time I will get my wish of going to the Mill for lunch. You get to sit outside and watch the birds at the Mill.

This afternoon I am helping with putting up the Christmas decorations, but I will write about that tomorrow when I have finished.
