When Pepper turned six months old, we realized she was not at all like our previous Yorkie. We would try to keep her away from the kitchen by holding a small gate in place with two 15-pound weights, but eventually we learned that she could simply carry the weights away. When she was one year old, she was strong enough to grab onto our couches and drag them across the floor by the cushions! We ended up having a lot of mix-matched Ikea furniture. Interior designers wish they had Pepper’s taste!
As a much more calm two-and-a-half-year-old, Pepper has resigned herself to only playing with dog toys and the occasional childhood stuffed animal. But that doesn’t mean her teeth and jaws are any less strong! Here we’ll put a few toys to the test, and see how they fare against the fearsome 65-pound Airedale Terrier known as Pepper.
