Custom Heavy Duty Squeaky Toys

Looks like you used two strands of thread? Was that to give it a lower profile. What type of thread? Come on just one picture of a ball with tooling, after a weeks use. Please...

Yeah, I doubled the thread  (Chinese Poly 1mm) to make it more pronounced.   It makes it more "hefty" looking.    Here's two pics and two balls, front and back.   Both are a little over a month old, and they get used fairly regularly at the dog park, but that's just retrieving.   My dog isn't interested in them outside of the dog park.  She's not a chewer, unless it's a bone.    But a friend whose dog is a toy destroyer  reported that she had to restitch a section of her ball after about a week.   I haven't checked back but her horse of a dog  (Mastiff) has probably eaten it by now.  Mileage will vary...

Guy could make one dog toy out of the whole scrap bin, layer upon layer,  kinda like those Ukrainian nesting dolls. Great stitching practice. Nothing but frustration for the dog, peeling layer after layer off of the leather onion.

Hahaha...you're a mean one Mr. Grinch.

I have to say (with no disrespect to anyone else) that you come up with some of the coolest ideas!  Loved your sandals and boots and now these, just really neat.  Keep it up, it's inspiring.

 Well thank you very much.  You're too kind.  Everything I do stems from being  envious of Monica Jacobsen's talented work.
