• First Impression: Well the kind people over at Fat Cat inc. sent me a rainbow trout! I personally had never seen one before, so Dad had to explain it to me. Fascinating! I think the reason I like it so much is because bears eat them, and of course I want to be just like a bear. Dad gave me two new toys last night, and this one won out! Dad was actually surprised. For some reason I really like to chew on this fish, and throw it around. Sometimes I just like to hit Dad with it. It says that they have tested it to withstand a half a ton of “yank testing.” Dad says that there is not enough for him to hold onto for it to be a good tug-a-war toy - I can pull it away from him pretty easily. Doesn’t matter to me, I’m really like this catch!
• Conclusion: So far I haven’t damaged the fish at all! I would like it a little bit more if there were 2 or 3 squeakers in it. One squeaker seems to be difficult to find. Also if they spent all that time making it withstand a half a ton of “yankin”, they may want to make it easier for humans to hold onto. Overall it’s very entertaining for me!
• Follow up: After 2 nights of playing I’ve partially torn one of the fins off and there is stuffing in there that I’m going to start pulling out soon. Also I’ve torn a good “L” in the side of the fish. I can see the “strapping” inside that is supposed to make the toy strong. Not much they can do to protect the fabric. I’ll post more when it’s completely destroyed.
• Follow up #2: After about 30 more minutes I ripped the nose off of the trout. As soon as Dad saw me pulling stuffing out he trashed the fish… Guess it’s bad for puppies to eat. Darn! Fun while it lasted, but it only lasted 3 days…
