Last night my mom and I made dog toys made from the de-squeaked toys that the family schnauzer had recently mauled. Felting a new dog toy was just the answer for chewy-chewer. If felted tightly enough, there was little chance for the rambunctious puppy-at-heart would be able to chew through very easily.

First lightly needle-felting some ecru around the squeaker, we then added wool of various colors to create the soon-to-be Mr. Happy.



One important feature I thought was worth including in my design, was the ability to pick op the squeaky toy, once it had become sufficiently slimy with doggie slobber. So with my toy, I made it into the many-legged critter of a spider.

As you can see, said toy was approved by Mr. Schnauzer.
