Political Chews: Win A Toy!
The Wonky Bonkers contest was so much fun, and we had so many great answers. Unfortunately, not every Dogster could be a winner. Many pups were left toyless.
So, when the fine folks at Fat Cat offered up some political toys for a giveaway I couldn’t refuse.
The folks at Bamboo have come up with Political Animals, toys that look like the candidates. For your chewing pleasure.
North Hills, Calif. – So…the race is on for the White House. But Fat Cat’s got some home-grown candidates of its own that will be seen campaigning all over the country! And who knows… some of ‘em may even end up in the White House! (Well, most likely on the floor, but who’s counting?).
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Political AnimalsTM from Fat Cat, Inc. Ok, this is who you think it is. The dogs have voted and the folks at Fat Cat have listened! With firm stances on planting more trees to wee on, building more dog parks and increased tax breaks on kibble, we’ve given our dogs the chance to chomp the vote in our next election!
The contest is not political, it’s all about the toys. I’m not looking to find out who you’re voting for. I don’t need to know why you like, or dislike, a candidate.
All I want to know is if you won, would you choose to chew a toy that looks like the candidate you would or wouldn’t vote for? Leave your answer, in the comment section, and I will choose 4 winners at random on Friday, October 10. Gook luck!
Oh yes, I would definately be chomping on the one I’m NOT voting for!
Oh yeah!!!! I would definitely be wanting the one I didn’t like. I’d take it and shake, shake, shake til all the stuffing came out of it then I’d let my Boxer sis have it to play with and I can tell you, that won’t be a pretty sight! ;o)
You know, I can understand the desire to chomp on a candidate that you don’t like. There is probably something refreshing about tearing them apart. However, I think I would rather give my attention to the candidate I like! I mean my attention is valuable and worth something. So why should my affections (regardless how destructive) be wasted on something I don’t like? I say chew and love the candidate who will love me back for doing so… or at least gnaw on something I like…BOL!!
OMD!!! I LOVE TOYS!!! I would want the one that I would vote for, as I cut or destroy my toys up, I love on them and keep them safe. I would carry it around with me and let it sleep on my spotted blanket with me.
I would choose one I liked because I kike to pay toss with it and fetch but I never tear them up, I loke to keep my toys and pester my human with them.
I’d definitely choose the one I would voting for! I carry my favorite toys with me everywhere around the house, so it’s only fitting that I’d take my favorite candidate with me!
We would definately choose the one we don’t like!! BOL… we love to chew on our toys and wouldn’t want to slobber all over our favorite candidate!! But we would LOVE to get Basset Hound slobber all over the other guy!!!
I would choose the candidate we will NOT be voting for, things can get ugly you know, heads might get ripped off…
Oh you bet we’d chew on the one we are not voting for. Yup!! Chew and gnaw and tug and roll on and slobber then chew some more!
Yup!
i would like my grandmother’s favorite canidate because when she sees me chewing her up, her reaction will be priceless!!
I like to play with my toys, but I’m gentle so I would probably pick someone I like. Sometimes I even sleep on my toys like pillows.
*SNIFF. Sniff, sniff, sniff* Phew! Something smells funny.
I’d probably just bury mine… Any of them.
BOL!
After some thought, I would rather have the candidate I am voting for. The one I’m not voting for, I wouldn’t want to look at or have in my home. Of course, it will get chewed up so I might be swayed to go the other way!
We both think we’d rather chew the one we love, they would definately taste better. Anyway we have to share our toys, so we might as well love what we both chew!
I’d choose the candidate I’d vote for. That way I can roll on it, make it talk, and sleep soundly knowing it’s there for me in the morning. Now if only the real candidates would be that easy to play with! BOL!
My motto is “Full throttle or dead stop!” I take life as fast and as hard as I can. Therefore, being the independent mind that I am, I would gleefully attack, shake and chew any toy that came my way. My goal is to tear the stuffin’ right out it! I have been very successful in the past in such endeavors and have full confidence I can do it to a candidate toy. Please note that candidate has “ate” right in it!
Hmm, Fancy and Jellybean tell me they would want the opposing candidate as they lovelovelove to play tug with their toys and spill the toy guts all over the house! Britney on the other hand, just loves to sit with her soft toys and snuggle with them so she would like the candidate for whom we are voting
I love toys! I want a new toy! Pick me! Pick me! I would chew any one of them-gladly. A toy is a toy-so bring any one of them on…..
I think my 12 would enjoy the candidate their mommy is NOT voting for. They have a tendency to rip, tear, play tug of war and spread stuffing everywhere, the more the better!!
I am the queen of toys, so I’d go for whichever candidate fit in my little mouth better. BOL! Oh, and whichever one squeeked the best (if they do)!. =)
Our Mommy could not bear it if we chewed on the candidate of her choice. By the way — Why no pitbull with lipstick?????
We would definitely chew on the candidate our mom is NOT voting for!
My Bailey LOVES to rip her toys apart and tear out all of the stuffing!! Of course, I wouldn’t want to see her do that to my candidate so I would have to chose his opponent. I wouldn’t really want her to harm this candidate but as long as it’s all in the name of puppy play I’ll enjoy watching her!
I would let my doggies sniff all 3 to see which one they wanted to chew on first, but then I would definitely give them the one that I would NOT vote for!
I would choose the candidate that I diskike the most.
I would chew him and squeek him and toss him andround and drag him all through the house.
You Havnt been romped with unless you have been pugged.
I would choose the candidate that Mommy & Daddy dislike. I like to squeak and throw my toys around. When I’m tired of that, I take ‘em to my favorite spot and chew, chew, chew, until the stuffings coming out and mommy takes them away. I would never want to do that to the candidate we like.
I would want to chew the one I would vote for since I am not allowed to pee on the sign in our yard for the one I would vote for. I just want to leave my mark and let everyone know who I would vote for!
The one I’m not voting fur not, I’ll rip them, and eat their inside- err, I mean stuffing. I’ll press their squeaker (do they have one?) to make sure they are yelping in pain. Sissy will probably say I’m not supposed kill them and she’ll sew up the holes, and the fun starts again!!!
If i won i would not chomp the person i am voting for
We would pick the Obama one– because we like to play tug with our toys and his arm is in the most tuggable position! We don’t care about politics or who mom and dad would vote for, we just want to play some good tug with a new toy! Sabrina calls the feet and Ollie calls the arm and head!
The one I voted for or the one I didn’t vote for, in the shake ‘em so hard their heads flip back and forth world of mine, does it really matter? But any new toy is good for a shred and the thump, thump, thump of a good game of tug and toss!
I would choose the one my mommy didn’t vote for. Then I’d take him and flop him around and chew him all up. That would be a lot of fun!!!!
I’d definately chew on the one I wouldn’t vote for! That would drive my mommy’s neighbors (who all vote differently than her) CRAZY! And I love that!
I’d choose the one I was voting for, he would want to meet me, right?
Lottie would like to give Lottie Love to the toy of the candidate Lottie likes. The candidate Lottie likes would be the one who dresses brightly, has long arms and legs, and a squeeky voice. Who’s that, huh huh?
If you are laying down in the house on your fluffy soft bed, but tired of the other toys, wouldn’t you want to chew on a candidate that you DON’T LIKE!! I mean, I wouldn’t DE-STUFF a candidate I would vote for, because that seems very illogical!! Come get the toy, and squeak squeak squeak!!!
I’m very good with my toys and I’d want to chose the candidate my mommy would vote for. Don’t think she’d be very happy looking at the object of her fury everytime we played fetch!
I carry my toys around with me, like a buddy, so I would pick the candidate I would vote for. That way I can always tell them what’s on my mind because when I vote I chose to have a voice. After all, I am part of the people and the people are the ones that matter.
I would pick the one I “Didn’t Vote For”, reason being would be “Every time Mommy had something Bad to say about the guy I could,” Shake the Living Squeaker out of it” Happy Voting!!!!!!
I would chew on any of them as that is what my Mom says she’s doing, “chewin’ it over.”
These are the kind of toys I play with now. I would pick the one that I would be voting for to help “Lift” their spirits wheather they win or not and hopefully “Carry” them through the next four years.(Yeah like it would last that long)And of course it’s always good to “Support” what your candidate believes in. But no matter who wins we shouldn’t”Rip Apart” each other in the interest of unity for our country!!!
I would pick one that I wasn’t voting for. My little babies would love to chew on these. For me it would be like me chewing on them for what I believe is false of them.
I would pick the one I was voting for.
It would give me so much satisfaction to watch my darling doggie go to town on the canidate I would not (ever!) vote for. I hate having to toss out her cute toys after too much abuse but watching her shred a canditate is just good fun!
OMD! a new toy?! just for giving an answer?? PAWSOME!
i cannot tell a lie…it doesn’t matter which toy i got. vote or no vote…i’d play play play! and chew chew chew!
BOL!
i might EASE up on the one i was voting for…actually, NAH! who am i kidding??
i would want the one i`m not voting for since they will be “gutted”.dancer used to get barney dolls and stuffed animals and always gutted they from the crouch up,lol.
We are soooo political! We have been watching all the debates and are woofing up the whole process. It would be our honor to chew on all canidates equally and really chew on all the different views. Then we can determine which ones taste really bad and which ones are real solutions to real problems. Mom knows who she is voting for, but us puggies like to contemplate our politics. The canidate with the best flavor wins! Woof, give me a new toy!
Right or Left its up to you,
The pug gang
Oh new toy! I love new toys!!!! I get excited just thinking about it. I wouldn’t care which one I got, as long as I could chew it up!!! Mom wouldn’t care either, she said everyone has their own opinions on who to vote for so just do what is right for you. And chewing up a new toy sounds just right to me! Woof you later!!
We would chose a candidate we don’t like. Because we would rip the stuffings out of him/her.
Well, I work in politics so I was super excited to see these new toys… and since there’s about a 110% chance that one of my dogs would perform a lightning fast “squeaker-ectomy” on these guys, I’m going for the candidate I’m NOT voting for…
I would pick the one that I don’t like so that my sisters and I can play tug with it and rip out it’s insides and we wouldn’t feel bad for the toy…just for mom because she would have to clean up the mess!!
As any upright juvenile delinquent teenage punk who needs reform school and is stil proud of it will tell you: “Bring on the woobies!” I would bitebitebite any and all of them with pleasure and destroy them.
PS MyMommy says her friends want me on the ballot In November. They say they would all votefor mememe!!!
I would definately get the one I am not voting for! That way my roomie can watch indy tear up her favorite!
I’d choose the candidate I’m voting for! My dog is very nice to his toys so it’s not like it would get torn up. And I really don’t want to be reminded of the others.
We are actually pretty nice to our stuffy toys, so we would pick the candidate we are voting for. Then all the other pups could see us carry him around nicely in our mouths and be persuaded…haha.
Too bad there aren”t V.P. choices.
