The Pawmaggedon Continues...

We have been really fortunate to stay in touch (via Facebook) with the special volunteer, Aunt Tammi, who introduced us to Mulligan, though we hadn't seen her in person since we left CACC that day.  Well lucky us, Tammi has a new job (with dog food company!) that brought her to the Wheaton area- a perfect opportunity for a reunion!!

and her new BFF, Oliver



 With Tammi came some stupendous goodies- treats! (which are like diapers in this house, can never have enough on hand) and two Kong Wubbas!!  I've been wanting to get them for the boys for awhile, but just didn't want to make the financial investment.  And frankly, after the quick destruction of them, I wish Tammi hadn't either.



It only took Oliver about 20 mins to have the top ripped off

and one of the "tails" ripped off.  Within 1 hr the tennis ball at the top was crushed (thanks, Mully) and we had to throw the skin away.  The only redeeming feature of the red kong is that somehow, the squeaky ball is still in tact a week later.  I think this is most likely due to it's large size which makes it difficult for even Mully to totally mouth it.







Mully was drawn to the Snugga Wubba, which, at 1 hr before the "beginning of the end" lasted nearly 3x as long.  I believe that the skin is much thicker and that is what kept it from being penetrated a bit longer.  Once pierced, however, it was finished off within about 20 mins.  (He has since moved on to the squeaker ball from the other Kong and spends much time hoarding it.)

Unlike the red Wubba, the top in the Snugga isn't a tennis ball, it's some sort of foam- doesn't really matter, it may as well be a clod of dirt for as quickly as it was obliterated. 

The big ball had a pannel torn out pretty easily by oliver as well- not even on a seam. 

Overall, while they had a blast destroying them, and it warmed Tammi's heart to gift the Wubbas to the boys- I was really bummed about the durability of these toys-  basically it was around $30.00 for 20 mins of fun.  I'm no mathamagician but that is $90.00 for an hour, and certainly we all have better things to spend money on.  Definitely headed for the Wall of Pain- sorry, Kong- for the money, I expect way better lasting power.
