This week we welcomed home our new puppy, Asa. He is our third Golden Retriever pup and just like his brothers before him, he loves to chew – especially cloth textures. Luckily for him, and us, we discovered TUFFY Toys years ago. Most soft chew toys are not durable and given a few minutes – […]
Today I’m three years old! Would you believe my parents are trying to pass off my new sibling as my birthday present?! What three year old wants that?!
