Did you give ponies to your pets?

[hathorcat]

Nope - absolutely not.

Mainly because my dog, Harry, and I have an agreement.

The ponies are mine - he does not touch. Every other toy in the world is his. He is toy obsessed (mainly soft toys to be fair) but if a soft toy is not available then one which looks like it might squeak will work.

We have got through the last 8 years with this agreement. He will steal everything that looks like it might be a toy...but the ponies are a no.

I know the day I ever gave him a pony, he would consider the pact over and a massacre may take place.

^ This. Furthermore, I would be concerned with them ingesting the hair - stringy material can cause some serious complications!

Not really. My cat also loves pony hair, and she tries to play with my ponies occasionally, but when that happens I hand her a fakie and she plays with that until she gets tired of it (then I put it away).

A coworker of mine sold me all of her childhood ponies except one... because she had given that one to her mom's dog when she was a kid and the dog still has it. :/ It was one of a set of newborn twins, and she had given one to the dog just because she "had two of them". I told her that I would still take a chewed up pony (because I wanted to rescue the poor thing from the dog) but she wouldn't give it to me because supposedly the dog just loves it soooo much. I'm still a little bitter about that, if you can't tell.

Somewhere I have pictures of Miku playing with my ponies! She likes to take my small funrise plush and make off with them, good thing she can't get into my pony totes otherwise...omg I can't imagine what mess a little ferret would make with pony hair!

My dog is a rottweiler, so i don't think it would be a good idea...These dogs have a very powerful jaw.Not to mention he likes all kinds of plushies and has already stolen some of mine (not pony plushies though).

My cats aren't allowed near ponies ever since Glitter (yes, that is my cat's name) took chunks out of a breezie

It's probably not a good idea to give them toys with hair because they could swallow it and it could cause a blockage that may need to be surgically removed.

My cats have had their fun with pony hair for sure!

My cats have a very baity little baby Bouncy. When Cheddar was a kitten, I picked him up and showed him the pony shelf, and after that he buggged me to go up there all the time, so I dug out a baity pony for him, and since he's been happy with that one (he's 2 now). Elsa doesn't really care about ponies, but she likes to sit in the window with them when I take photos.

My dog Moose is really well behaved around my ponies, I have plushies piled in the corner that he never touches even when unattended. He's smart enough that he knows what's mine and what's his. A toy is only his if I offer it to him, then he can do whatever he wants with it.

One day I gave him a fakie and he destroyed it in minutes, he had so much fun ripping and chewing it to shreds. Once I deemed it was too destroyed to continue playing with I threw it out and that was that, he didn't go steal one of my ponies to take its place. I have complete faith in him.

*UPDATE FROM MY FIRST POST!!!*
When I'm writing this, I'm putting up sales on a Dutch sale page, like Craigslist in the US, and I have a box with ponies next to me on the ground. My doggie Kyra comes to me and sniffed at the ponies...and she look at me with those eye's like *Mommy can I have one?*
So I say to her....Yes you may pick one!!! And low and behold!!!! I wish I had the time to film it with my phone!!! She sniff's around in the box...picked first a Italy Peachy...but then all of a sudden she digg's and digg's and pulled out...Baby Cuddles and lay it in front of me and looks up at me with a face like *Can I have her...Pleasseeee????*
So I told her she could have Cuddles and she took it to her pillow and is now sleeping...with Cuddles laying besides her!!!! Soooo cuteeee!!!!
I never thought she would be so gentle with a toy what doesn't squeek! Normally she would destroy it! And funny thing is...I thought the cats would be all over the box...but they didn't even look at it!!! X

My cats have one pony; G2 Magic Kitchen Sweet Berry. I already had her and this one was in pretty bad condition. I tried to sell her but nobody wanted her, so I thought why not give her to the cats. They love her, especially her hair!

My cat has a baity g2 Princess morning glory. She has never been interested in ponies. But I got this lot and for what ever reason she was transfixed in her. So I let her keep it.

She just likes hanging out holding her.

My cats don't so much play with toys as with each other. They do, however nuzzle ponies when introduced, and then leave it at that.
