Rant the Ant

Inara loves her new Tuffy toy, Rant the Ant. She cuddles with it and then flings it around and chews on it. It's great! Anyway, here are a few *ahem* pics of with her newest obsession.

Is the ant tough or is Inara just careful with it? Duke will play with a stuffy forever and never tear it up. Trouble will kill them in short order.

It's tough. It's rated as a 7 out of 10 on Tuffy's rating scale, but I'm very impressed with it. We've played little games of tug using the legs and they're still all there. And with as much as she's been chewing on it, there's only one small hole beginning right on a seam.

Yes inquiring minds would like to know. Kinzyl is showiwng interest in playing with her Kong lately rather than just licking the treat out of it and be done. The other night she bounced it around the house for a good hour. Maybe this could hold her interest for a while.

I got it at a local dog boutique called Style Mutt. http://stylemutt.com/index.html Not sure if she delivers...

I'm going to be there tomorrow morning so if you guys want I can snag a couple and ship them to you guys. I trust you both to pay me. I think it was $13, so figure that plus shipping. Or I can ask Pam, the owner, if she'd take your credit card info over the phone and ship them.

I am still wondering if Kinzyl will chew the legs off.

Let me know what your lady says about taking the credit card over the phone

I also found it on Amazon for 14.99 - if you can find 10.01 more to order it's free shipping.

Looks like Inara is really enjoying her ant! I love her eyeliner- she is a beauty!! I was wondering where to get the Rant toy too, then I realized that the ant has tuffy's website right on it in the pictures. I think we may order one once we get down to Florida and get settled in. We are working on "don't kill it" so maybe we can get it to last! Ino has a habit of taunting real ants and one latched onto his lip one time and would not let go, I think it was a carpenter ant because it was large. I had to get tweezers to pry it off and the body detached but the head stayed attached until I pulled it off separately :shock:

!! He still does it, so I guess that was not enough of a deterrant :rolleyes2:

Pam said that she will take credit cards and ship items. If you order from her, please let her know that I referred you.

I ran an errand for Pam today that took all of 45 minutes, tops, so she GAVE (yes, for free) me this:

. It's almost 2 feet tall! She's crazy. :crazy:

I just have to say that Rant the Ant is the THE BOMB. Inara's been gnawing on it, tearing at it, playing tug, fetching and sleeping with it, and it still just has one small rip in the seam, not even enough yet to see stuffing. He even still has all his legs which are her favorite things to chew on. This thing is awesome! I haven't even given her the octopus yet because I keep waiting on Rant to die, but he WON'T! I can't rave enough about him.

I can stop by Tuesday Morning today, and see if they have any more...they were like $6 when I went the other day.

by **pitbullmamaliz** » August 16th, 2010, 12:20 pm

Yeah, let me know! I'd buy a couple more for $6 each!

Do you think it would with stand a dog obsessed with destruction? A dog who lies down, puts both front paws on toy body and pulls and rips out anything that sticks out with all her might, for hours on end? Cause that's what happens to stuffies around here...

by **pitbullmamaliz** » August 16th, 2010, 8:23 pm

Don't know - that's usually how Inara is with toys but she doesn't do it with this one.

by **ArtGypsy** » August 16th, 2010, 8:35 pm

Dar LOVES his!!
He did chew off a part of a leg...

, But he hasn't destroyed it yet!!

Pictures soon.....need to charge the camera battery before I upload.

I love Tuffy toys. I always recommend them at work. Toby has the ring and a football shaped one. Both are doing great.
