Are the toys you get them to big? The dead fruit is small and easy to grab. Most dog toys are to large for their little mouths to hold.
Try to find small rope toys they can use to pull each other. Or a small rubber ball. I had one with several small spikes on it so the dog could grab a spike and carry the ball around.
Because of their size you might want to look at toys in the cat toy aisle.
Pledge smells awesome! I am moving out into the country and I am supposed to be looking at getting a dog, a large breed, to have around but these little puppies are soo cute! I might have to get one for my son and daughter! (who am I kidding? the dog would be for me!)
I am by nature a “cat person” (we have fostered two kitten litters for the local animal shelter), but I have to say, these puppies have darn near turned me into a dog person!! I told my boyfriend this week, “I think I’d like to have a dog….” I know it’s a HUGE responsibility (you can leave a cat for 4 days with no problem, not so with a dog) and we aren’t quite there yet. But boy…. I think I’ve been missing out on a really rewarding relationship!!
We rescued two mixed breed pups about a month ago. They’re adorable like your two, but we have no idea what breeds they are except BIG! Enjoy your wee ones!
Too funny! I know what you mean. As others have said, cats are that way too. Years ago, I had bought what I thought would be a nice comfy bed for my cat and he never used it. Then I was assembling something and among the packaging he discovered a small cardboard box about the size of a shoebox and snuggled up. He used that cardboard box for sleeping in and scratching.
Considering what they could have found in the yard, be happy it’s an old lemon. I was on the phone with my sister recently when she suddenly started shrieking. Apparently the hound brought a very decayed dead pigeon in the house and was playing with it.
OMG…I can’t believe how cute they are, I just love Pip! We have a big basket full of toys and Charlie always brings acorns in from the backyard, he tosses them straight up in the air and then tries to cach them…chihuahuas are the cutest!!!
My friends’ cocker spaniels used to do exactly the same thing. They would find a old lemon (the gnarlier, the better) in the yard and carry it around in their mouths non-stop. It was quite funny but my friend got tired of them bickering over the lemon since they always wanted the same one so she doesn’t let them do it anymore. I thought the lemon smell was an improvement on dog-food breath 🙂
They are so adorable – and I bet they are so much fun! I think I need a lemon tree in my backyard – maybe my dog would do the same? I would take pledge over…well…poop breath?? haha…. seriously, its BAD!
They’re so cute . . . and old dried lemons is WAY better than some of the gross things my pup plays with . . . I’ll spare you the details, but I’ve got to be better about keeping the bathroom door closed.
Your little puppies are so cute! Lemon Pledge breath would definitely be better than poop breath! My dog likes to eat our outdoor cat’s poop. Needless to say, I never let him lick me.
I just bought my boy Billy a new toy today – a plush hedghog, although even as I was going through the checkout counter, I wondered at my own gullibility. Every toy–EVERY toy I have bought for him that isn’t made of rubber, he has devastated, defenestrated, and destroyed. He loves chawing at them until the bunting comes out and he can spit it everywhere. Then he brings it to me and asks me to sew it back together again.
Sure enough, same thing happened within thirty minutes of giving him the hedghog. Which now sports, instead of a cute, longish button nose…a radically deformed and flattened visage that only a mother could love.
Why do I keep buying him the darn things?
However, even as I type this, Billy has finally just managed to exhaust himself with play and is now snuggled up to his newest pal, snoozing contentedly.
see?
it’s like I said
nothing will take NuNu’s place
there’s just new places to be found in your heart…
my Pixie is 3.5lbs at a year old
she LOVES anything that squeaks…and that gets tired in a hurry…but they you look at that little face when she’s standing on your chest…and yer big ole icy heart melts and ya just love them….
No matter how many toys I buy my cat…his ultimate favourite toy is a drawstring from a pair of old shorts that he’s claimed. He also rarely sits in his gigantic cat stand or cat bed…his favourite sleeping place is a pile of newspaper and printer paper that now permanently sits on the edge of my bed because I don’t have to heart to take away HIS paper. dogs and cats are so funny.
Oh how I would love my Moon’s breath to be lemon freshness instead of a likeness to bad asparagus!! Your new babies are wicked adorable, and I look forward to seeing their next adventure!
Cheers,
~Lea

How cute! A lemon?!? Much better than the dead squirrel that my dogs brought home one day from our back yard. Although I have to say that the stuffed bunny is really cute hanging from Molly’s mouth as she runs through the house. Nellie just likes to chew the bunny’s eyes out.
Your puppies are beautiful!
I just got a new puppy and buy him all kinds of toys. However, his two favorite things are Bounce dryer sheets and string cheese wrappers…LOL!
Now I’m going have have to give him a a lemon and see what happens. 🙂
Trust me, gnarly lemons are much better than petrified rodent! I kid you not, it was very large, old, dried up and hollow. I nearly fainted when my little Sparky (Cocker Spaniel) brought me this wonderful present many years ago.
Changing the subject to more pleasant things, Jorge, I found some wonderful recipes for Sourdough Starter, Francese Bread and Focaccia, and immediately thought of you! Bon appetit!
oh gosh that was funny, smell like pledge! My dog (also found on petfinder) LOVES the leaves falling and spends a load of time chasing them as they fall off the trees. meanwhile a vast array of chew toys,balls,throw things site happily in a box.
AAH! This makes my face hurt! In a good way. The smile is so big it hurts. Love it.
My cats usually love the package the toy comes with. I would love lemon breath. Precious!
Kids are the same way…I have a lemon tree in my backyard. When my kids are outside with their little cousins they would rather play under that tree with lemons then any of their toys. And yes, at least they come in smelling lemony fresh!
My cats were like that. They would prefer to chase after balls made from aluminium foil and play in paper bags, boxes, etc. Your little pooches are adorable!
Your puppies are adorable…we had a chihuahua mix for 16 years..he looked alot like Nunu…we recently just got another chihuahua….12 weeks….he’s great….wasn’t sure what to name him…was a toss up between Hugo Reyes and Bob Barker….went with Bob Barker!! And he has yet to bark!!
This is possibly my favourite post of yours Jorge. My dog is the exact same, He has his own toybox in the livingroom and all he plays with is a fist sized rock from outside!
I’m going to write to you btw, are you still using the address you posted recently?
Hey! I think you’ve found a fantastic new ‘dog toy’ to market!
‘Old Dried Lemon’ the natural and eco friendly dog treat!
Followed by ‘Old Dried Orange’ and for the larger breeds ‘Old Dried Grapefruit’.
I love these two pups, man, they seem like such a pair of rabble rousers! 🙂
Further Dispatches 
smells like pledge – LOL. they are rather cute Jorge, I admit it, even though I like dogs that would use them as toys………..
they’re cuter by the second!! I wish my doggy’s breath smelt like pledge..he has beef trachea breath. Hmmmm lov-erly. (gack)
Same thing with our cats. They like their toys that we buy for them, but they’d much rather play with the box from Amazon that the toys come in.
It could be worse… their breath could smell like dead bird.
;-]
I’m dying of cute overload. They’re so adorable!
They’re absolutely adorable. Have a heap of fun with them.
Can’t wait to see you on H.I.M.M.M.

My cats favorite toy is a tootsie pop! You dogs are insanely adorable….you guys must be thrilled! Cheeers~~
I think you may be onto something here!!
That’s genius! Much better than doggy breath.
Um, need I remind you of what they were eating? Thinking Pledge breath is definitely an upgrade 🙂
Oh, they are sooo cute, (my dog’s breath is unmentionable, I wish he would play with a lemon!) congrats.
Hilarious! Cats are the same, no matter the toy, they want the box the toy came in. Or the string.
We rescued two mixed breed pups about a month ago. They’re adorable like your two, but we have no idea what breeds they are except BIG! Enjoy your wee ones!
Oh my gosh! Look at those ears!! Adorable!

My yorkie’s favorite toy was a beer bottle cap. She would growl and threaten to take your hand off if you tried to take it from her.
Plus i’d rather smell lemon pledge that some other smells they could be bringing home! They are so stinking Cute!

They are still the cutest dogs ever!
Son como los niños, les compras juguetes caros y juegan horas y horas…. con las cajas !!!
Saludos.
OMG that is just the cutest EVER.
You always make me smile Jorge!!!!
Just like little kids, it’s more fun to play with the boxes rather than the toys that came in them.
Your little puppies are so cute! Lemon Pledge breath would definitely be better than poop breath! My dog likes to eat our outdoor cat’s poop. Needless to say, I never let him lick me.
Nothing will replace Nunu, but damn…these guys are adorable!
OMG so damm cute . They make life so much more enriched dont they?
Love them! They are so adorable…. 🙂

This is so cute! My cats barely look at store bought toys but will get super exciting if you give them a straw 🙂
For my dog as a puppy…it was his own poop. Consider yourself lucky!
It smells like Pledge after my Nana kisses my face too!
Though sadly, she has a terrible and serious addiction.
But… yay… puppies…

Dude, they’re so sweet that I’d like to eat them right now! 🙂 (L)
Um, this is incredibly off-topic, but how do y’all put your own avatars on your posts? I’ve been trying to figure it out, and clearly it defeats me…

What great pictures! My cats are the same. And – my 7 year old son STILL would rather play with old cardboard boxes than the toys that came in them!
Your little dogs are adorable, and their pictures just made my day.
Thanks for posting!
They really are just adorable! What sweet faces….they are lucky to have such a great family!
That’s because the lemon presents a curious challenge. The lemon “bites” back.
Love the baby pictures, Jorge. Keep ’em coming!!
It’s sweet
How cute! A lemon?!? Much better than the dead squirrel that my dogs brought home one day from our back yard. Although I have to say that the stuffed bunny is really cute hanging from Molly’s mouth as she runs through the house. Nellie just likes to chew the bunny’s eyes out.

Hey Jorge!! Puppies are so cute!! Enjoy them!! Even if they do smell like pledge!! LOL!!!

Congrats on your two new little babies! I love them!
Just remember that lemon breath is much better than puppy poop breath!
Cute dogs Jorge but id rather have one of those huge ones
oh gosh that was funny, smell like pledge! My dog (also found on petfinder) LOVES the leaves falling and spends a load of time chasing them as they fall off the trees. meanwhile a vast array of chew toys,balls,throw things site happily in a box.
Another cat-person here, but oh man… those little guys are so cute, I want to cry!
AAH! This makes my face hurt! In a good way. The smile is so big it hurts. Love it.
My cats usually love the package the toy comes with. I would love lemon breath. Precious!
Squeaky clean!
