She Really Whips The Llama's Ass

Barley, a dog, gives an enthusiastic chomp to a purple llama toy.

Truly one of the great paradoxes of Barley’s capacity for destroying toys is that some of her toys that have lasted the longest are really very cheap and fragile, and have survived by being both very squishy and very floppy. It’s hard to get a cheaper toy for its size than Legend The Llama, especially since I got it on sale for even cheaper than its list price! And yet it precisely because its material is so yielding and elastic that Barley doesn’t bother trying to really grind away at it with her powerful back-tooth technique. It must feel so wispy and insubstantial that she might as well be biting down on a cloud.

(Also come on, PetSmart, “Llegend The Llama” was right there! Real missed naming opportunity.)
