Bella and Chief love to chew. Anything. Even though they are now more than three years old, they still love to chew. Wayward shoes and socks don't stand a chance. Blankets and thows are in trouble. Pillows? Forget about it. But buying chew toys is expensive - especially when they go through them in a few days.
Here's my new solution: make them myself.
I have a rag drawer with old t-shirts, pajamas, and more. They're destined to be used for cleaning and dusting rags. But frankly, I don't clean or dust enough for all of them. At the rate I'm going, I have nearly a 20 year supply of dust rags. No joke.
But these old shirts make great chew toys. I've taken them and literally tied them into knots. Now, they look similar to the expensive tug toys you buy at stores. And - best of all - they don't look like clothes any more so the dogs aren't being trained to eat our shirts. Five days running and all three tjat I made are still in commission. Dogs are happy. Rags are being used. Good socks, shoes, and more are being saved. And I'm saving money too.
