[Dailydrool] What to give chewing puppies?!!?

[Hinchliffe at aol.com]

Help!
 
I have the utter joy of babysitting my friend's two  10-week-old puppies.  
Can you imagine the bliss?!!?  Of course, I  don't want to do anything else 
all day but kiss fat little puppy tummies ...  make up games for eager 
little puppy jumpers ... cuddle armfuls of sleepy little  puppies ... 
 
But.  In the rose-colored blur of puppy memories, there's  something I had 
forgotten.
 
They have teeth.  Not just teeth.  Piranha  teeth.  I think they sharpen 
them into prison shivs when I'm not  looking.
 
It's been so long -- I can't remember what toys are best to  keep puppy 
teeth busy.  I froze a wet washcloth, and that kept them  occupied for about 30 
seconds (puppy attention span record).  I bought them  what looks like a 
puppy teething ring, but it's too hard, they're still little  babies.
 
What they need is something rigid but soft on the outside --  yes, like my 
fingers!  Their favorite toys.  Does anyone know of a  finger substitute, so 
I can keep mine somewhat intact?  I'd love to find a  toy that gives a 
little but still stands up to the assault.
 
I bought oven mitts so I can at least handle these wild  snapping turtles 
without getting shredded.  But -- what  toys?!!?
 
Thanks!

rememember that they ever chewed like  this!)
