AIBU to really strongly object to toys like this?

bloody thing

thumbwitch not that much of an old gimmer if you're just going out

Oh thumbwitch - can I join your gang? Can we torch all the soft play places as well?

(I think thumbwitch is in Australia)

My 3 year old saw it at the Entertainer in Kingston (they had it out) and she loved it.

Much cheaper than a real dog and once she gets tired of it hide it in the loft for a few months. Wish I could afford one...

I'd love to get one, if only so I can sit back and watch my real puppy savage it !

I'm one of those annoying hippy moms who doesn't like to buy toys that "do" things, so I personally don't like it. (And would never spend that kind of money!) However I'm sure that there are some children out there who would love it, and if you've got the money, what's the harm?

Come to think of it I might spend that on a really cool creative toy for DS so I suppose I'm being hypocritical. Assuming I had the money, which at this point I don't, hence the homemade gifts he's getting this year.

me too cheerful

so much so that i might quite like a toy until i find out it does something and then i wont buy!

thumbwitch says she's from Dorking. I thought that was in Surrey unless there's another one in Oz?

I would (and could) never waste my money on rubbish like that.

although I had gone to see John today and my DS1 (3) saw it and backed off into gorgeous leather sofa in furniture dept, saying "no don't eat my shoes, big dog"!! PMSL!

it it wrong to say i want 1? never mind the kids

it looks as though its just been throttled
seriously odd

what in gods name are you meant to do with it?

heh heh - spreading confusion - mwwaahahaha.

I am indeed in Australia hence can retain the old gimmer label - but I only moved here in August and used to live within half an hour of Dorking (went to college there) so haven't completely forgotten it!

seeker - you're welcome any time! I have just had my first experience of ToysRUs - eeeeeek! Tat by the van load. amongst other nice toys occasionally.
