No matter what stuffed animal my mommy brings home, I always have to take out the insides. I leave them all over the house. It usually takes me three days to finish a stuffed animal. Yet my mommy still buys them for me! I have a collection of destuffed animals in my bed.

my living room is current covered with squeaky toy carcasses. I feel your pain!

Ditto!

I trained my dog out of this habit. Now she enjoys her toys for a lot longer!

HA! I bought replacement squeakers, re-stuffed them and sutured them up and my dog would squeak away again! Even though he De-stuffed them, once the squeaker stopped working, he stopped playing with them, but after emergency reconstructive surgery, he’d play with them again.

Fishing string works great for repairing the babies!

Dogs’ love of de-stuffing squeaky toys most likely comes from a wild instinct to eviscerate small prey. I’ve also heard that they like the sound of squeaky toys because that, too, reminds them of small prey.

My dog does that, but if the toy is large enough to serve as a potential love interest, then it is spared. Otherwise the stuffing comes out! His favorite toy is a Lambchop( like the old puppet) skin, he still chews on it and shakes it.

My dog does this too! I keep the ones he has de stuffed for him to play with. I call them his unstuffed animals. He still plays with them.

Does he still play with them? After the destuffing?

Those stuffed toys don’t stand a chance with a golden around! Just like turkey, the stuffing is the best part!
