Premier Pet Pogo Plush Slap Happy

Hudson received this funny toy in his November Bark Box and he loves it.  I waited to review it because I wanted to see how well it was going to hold up to him.  He likes to destuff his soft toys and I didn't want to review something that only lasted a few days, or week.  This toy is the strangest thing, and I don't know why this has held up longer than most of his soft, stuffed toys; maybe because it isn't stuffed, it is a silicone skeleton, covered in synthetic sheep skin, with 6 dangly legs.  There is also a floating squeaker, but that didn't last more than a few days (thank goodness).  It's great for tugging & fetch. I am terrible at throwing things, so I appreciated that I could bounce it off the wall, the window, the TV, etc and not have to worry too much about breaking things.

It's a fun toy that Hudson really likes.  I would like to see it made out of a stronger material so it didn't wear so quickly.  When it has been totally destroyed, I hope to use the interior skeleton as a ball, similar to a JW Holey Roller.


Picture taken 1/4.  You can see the multiple holes in the sheep skin covering and that "Fuzzy" is down to only 5 legs.

6/7 UPDATE
Fuzzy has lost all of his fleece now and is just the purple skeleton.  I hid a small tennis ball inside, so Hudson still likes to play with it.  He enjoyed this toy so much that when I found similar toys at the local Ocean State Job Lots, I bought 3.  2 of the 3 were kept back for later fun, but he really enjoys playing with the 1 I let him have.
