abadideaOdin's grandhumans are in town today and brought him a squeaky rubber chicken. Fortunately for our sanity, he seems to consider squeaking a toy to be a failure state to be avoided, so he holds them gently. #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon
CM Harrington@0xabad1dea biiiiiiiiig gentle boi.
Jeremy KahnMy (much smaller) dog tends to fetch little chew toys (or stuffed animals from his human sibling's bedroom) and treat them like they're his puppies
He carries them around gently, just like Odin
The only squeaking that happens is that sometimes he "roleplays" the crying puppy before he puts it down in the nesting spot he's chosen
@trochee @0xabad1dea OMG ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Joan Albright@0xabad1dea Goodest boy!
moggieMy old dog Bedlam would squeak them repeatedly until the toy reached its final failure state. Fortunately for me, she was so rough that the entire process from new toy to death took about 15 minutes.
Stefan Baur 7 * 💉@0xabad1dea Maybe it's so loud it hurts his ears and that's why he's avoiding it?
@farbenstau I think he perceives it as the toy saying "ow that hurts :("

My parents dog would never make her toy squeak either, but would come running if we made it squeak. That doesn't seem to me like it was hurting her ears.
I think it sounded to her like the toy was in pain, so she was very careful with it.
Crystal Huff (they/them)@0xabad1dea our neighbor Cooper, a Newfoundland puppy 4 yrs of age, seems of a similar mind re squeaking. Very genteel of him.
Frieke@0xabad1dea noe Thats a Good Boy!
(My dog is very cautious around sqeakies. We got her two in the first year with us but putvthem away. She goes into care and protect mode - no mouth, just gently positioning between her legs 🥺)

gudenau@0xabad1dea I had a large dog that liked to squeak them by pushing it with his nose. He also chewed on tennis balls like gum, they would occasionally pop in his mouth but it didn't matter. (They stayed in one piece, just lost their seal)
Annelies Kamran, Ph.D.@0xabad1dea that is the canine equivalent of getting your grandchild a drum set.
