Another one of Mocha’s favorite toys as met with its demise today. How sad.
Mocha finally gnawed through the furry skin of the ball, tearing it asunder so the fuzzy innards could be strewn about. Gruesome indeed.
At least this one lasted several months. A stuffed, squeaky penguin we got over Christmas was disembowled in two days.
Goodbye squeaky fuzzy ball.

That was fast. It took Mocha only two days to utterly demolish and disembowel his stuffed, squeaky Christmas penguin toy.
Check out the plastic bubble, the squeaky heart of the stuffed toy. He pulled that right out.
Wow. Just, wow.
For Christmas, we got Mocha a stuffed, squeaky penguin toy. Mocha loved it. He carried it around with him everywhere he went. At night, he would lovingly cradle it in his arms. And during the day, he’d nibble on its appendages.
Unfortunately, the nibbling soon become voracious. The poor little penguin toy is now sporting mangled limbs and a chewed-up nose.
Oh well. We didn’t expect this toy to last too long. At least Mocha is enjoying it while it lasts. Merry Christmas Mocha!

Translated from Dog:
Oh boy, I got a ball! Lemme chew on it… huh. It’s soft. And chewy. And… oh! It’s making a noise! There it is again! And again! I like this.

We decided to get Mocha an Easy Brush
, he seems to love it.
I apply a bit of toothpaste to the bristles of the Easy Brush, then set it down for him. He’ll generally lick most of the toothpaste off before getting down to business. Then it’s about five minutes of quiet chewing. Easy peasy one-two-threesy.
We’ve been using this for a couple of months now. While Mocha still likes to chew the Brush, he seems to be growing bored of it. I used to give it to him once every other day. Now I’m giving it to him once a week, hopefully to maintain some of the novelty of the Easy Brush.
We examined his teeth yesterday and they looked okay. There’s some tartar buildup in his back teeth despite a regime of Easy Brush, rawhide chews, dental chews, and rope bones. So we may need to brush using a dog toothbrush or finger brush one of these days. Otherwise, the Easy Brush seems to be doing a fair job.
P.S. I was dying to write, “And Mocha says, ‘I chew-chew-chews you, Easy Brush!’, but couldn’t find a good place to put it. So here it is. Heh.

Mocha is a playful 1-year old 25 lb mutt we rescued from a local animal shelter. He loves to run, play, and eat. Don't you?
Mike is was the proud owner of this adorable little guy. We miss him terribly every day.
