Tell my two dogs that they have new toys and the tug of war game is on. Love the ropes, I like that they are sturdy enough to last for a very long time with two little dogs who are constantly playing tug of war. They will carry these new ones around with them now when company comes over and want to play. They are soft enough to bite into, but the knots are tight enough that they will not come undone. The Collapsable water bowl is a plus, we travel around and take them with us, so an added plus with this order. I normally carry the 8oz bottles of water to keep cold for them and it is just the right size to hold it. Fill it up, let them drink and when they are done just collapse it back down and store in the doggy bag.
