Grunt's favorite toy WAS the monkey with squeaker and rope arms and legs, until I was buying him one every week, because he was chewing the rope apart, and I was afraid he would chew pieces off and choke. He now has a bunch of those little monkeys with no arms or legs, which we play toss with and he runs around squeaking, squeaking, squeaking!! He only likes his kongs for eating goodies out of. Now, he loves 1) his Wiggly Giggly ball which he gets only in the evening after I get home from work because his daddy can't stand all the giggly noises going CONSTANTLY all day long! 2) an old T-shirt with a bunch of knots tied, like your Cookie. He loves to chew on the knots, and untie them.
