T3i: Costco and GoDog

 It's been forever since I put up a T3i post! That's Terrier Toy Testing Institute for new readers. 

We have a handful of GoDog plushies. They are expensive but extremely well made. They usually get an 8 out of 10 score from T3i.

The embroidery detail on GoDog toys is always exquisite. Yes, that is intentionally targeted at us, the humans, because I promise you our dogs don't give a shit about that. But the hefty, nubbly material and well-placed squeakers make these toys great for tugging, throwing, and shaking.

Here's Archie with one of the limited stuffing dinos:

Throw it already!

And here's a bunny I picked up at a dog show earlier this year. 

You know he's well made because his ears are still attached.

Imagine my surprise when I was wandering around Costco last weekend and saw a bin of enormous GoDog plushies for $14 each. Of course I grabbed two!

They aren't as well made as the smaller toys, which can easily cost $25 or more. But they are much better constructed than most $14 stuffed dog toys.

 

Turquoise dragon for Archie

Big red dino for Frankie

They have nice embroidery detail, are made from thinner, but still colorful, nubbly material, and contain plenty of squeakers in head and feet, a honker in the body, and crinkly plastic in the tails. Frankie can just about lift her dino off the floor. Usually she drags it around by the neck frill. Sort of how she treats the cat, come to think of it.

Costco and GoDog for the T3i win! Still giving these a score of 8 out of 10. The dogs love them.
