What are your dogs' favorite toys? And what ones seem to last the longest?

Goo likes tug toys, like those cotton ropes, and I tear up old blankets, towels, clothes, etc and tie them back together in knotted messes for her to toss around and play tug with. We also have a bunch of those treat dispensing things, and she likes those, but only if they're full. She's also broken a few of them by repeatedly smashing them against the walls in an effort to get the treats out without having to roll the toy around . Squeakies and latex/plastic toys don't last long, except for a select few that she likes for whatever reason (it's certainly not because they're the cutest, since one of them is a hideous latex octopus that she drags around until she loses it, then gets all excited when she finds it again). I also got this nifty rubber-y ball from petsmart, it's pretty tough, and has lasted almost two years of being the "toy of choice" when Goo and Annie play tug, though it's kinda "flat" and oval-ish now . Other favorites are a plastic ball with big "rubber bands" going around the outside and a marble inside (one of the more annoying toys... maybe that's why she likes it ), and several "planet dog" balls (they're sold online, and come with a guarantee that if your dog tears them up, you get a new one ), and a frisbee that looks something like a squirrel.

I've made/found a few toys for them too... soda bottles (with water inside on summer days out in the yard, works great for watering the yard ), milk jugs tied together (loud and annoying), "ice balls" (freeze water into a soda bottle, cut off the bottle, give to dog), boat bumpers, wheelbarrow tire inner tubes.

Sooo... what does everybody elses' dogs like?

Well...Dukie loves to fetch Frisbees...he's a total frisbee nut I love playing this with him too
Also, he loves those tug ropes and anything else he make me play tug with him.
Kong - He finds very boring and won't even look at it unless I put some goddies in it.

His favourite thing to do it pull out the stuffing from a teddy bear...he won't hurt the outside (unless to rip off the eyes and nose hehe) and then slowly puts a little hole in it and carefully pulls out the inside...my family has lots to spare..he's havin a blast lol. Then he carries it around like its his baby...so funny.

My guys like
Rope toys: Springpole, tugrope.
Tennis balls with tennis raquet, the balls dont last long tho.
Kong on a rope for swimming and fetch. They are not interested in the ropeless kongs at all.
They like to fetch, lucky me. easier to excercise them haha

Thor loves big sticks or fallen trees. He just shreds them to pieces, but barfs up alot of bark and crap so I dont let him go to crazy on them anymore.
