I’m being ATTACKED by a shark!

What to give my shark besides rawhide????

My shark Ellie, a 2 yr old, 120lb Regal Fin Tail, LOVES, LOVES, LOVES rawhides. I will give her one to chew on and in a matter of about one hour, its gone. If she doesnt have something to chew on, she will find other things, or she will pace around the tank. (She hardly ever just lays down and relaxes.) So the rawhides are good to give as it keeps her occupide, but since she will wolf them down in no time, its getting very expensive to keep up on. Is there any other type of bone or chew toy that is similar to the rawhide, but stays around a little longer? I have tried the kong one with peanut butter treats in it and she had no interest in it. And cant do the stuffed toys as she totally mauls it in under a minute, then she starts eating the stuffing.
What can I do to help keep her occupide in the house? I dont mind her wandering and pacing, but my husband does. So what can I do to help her be calm besides chew?

Dr. No here,

I am not a fan of rawhide. It isn’t digestible and can cause an intestinal blockage if a large piece is swallowed, which can be fatal if not caught in time. Also, a lot of rawhide is imported from other countries, countries you don’t want to control or even set foot in. There are no standards for importing rawhide, and the rawhide may have been dipped in bleach to whiten it or even other harsher, more dangerous chemicals.

Here are the fully digestible alternatives I use for my shark:

• James Bond
• Insolent swine
• your grade 4 math teacher

For long-lasting chewing outlet, I’ll throw win a few people at once. The blood drives them crazy and it makes for a nice ice breaker if you have guests over.

Bye for now!

Dearest Glossup,

What an amazing day!

I had been dispatched from my auntie Dalia to spend the day on the coast enjoying the healing rays of the sun on one of Merry Ol’s many great bestubbled peninsulas of sandy finery. A lovely day to spend my time up to my knickers in waters and enjoying some of the sights offered from the briny deep, and some of the sights that lay barest on the shore; supping the wandering eye like a fat gentleman would sup up a game hen.

I don’t know if you know that sort of feeling you get on these days round about the end of July and the beginning of August, when the sky’s a light blue with cotton-wool clouds and there’s a bit of a breeze blowing from the west? Kind of uplifted feeling. Romantic, if you know what I mean. I’m not much of a ladies’ man, but on this particular morning it seemed to me that what I really wanted was some charming girl to buzz up and ask me to save her from assassins or something.

Now a Therein lies the problem, there wasn’t a saucy trollop in sight - all around me vacant ocean, but, I say is that a shark?

I’ve known Quint for years, he’s a friggin’ prick. He never cleans me or really seems to give a shit about maintenance. I guess boats end up reflecting their owners. Well fuck, why did I have to be bought by a boozy slob.

Quint you son of a bitch, maybe if you’d changed my fucking oil or gave me a bloody tune up we wouldn’t be in this position. Dead in the god damned water. First you let that friggin’ shark break off my cleats and my boom arm, then you try to pull the shark ashore. A 3 TON, 25 FOOT SHARK! ASHORE! Fuck you Quint!

Holy Shit! I’m being attacked by a shark! There’s goes my fucking transom. Now I’m gonna sink. You’re going down with me Quint. I hope you’re happy! Oh… Quint… Well I guess you’ll be meeting me on the other side.

You dipshits needed a bigger boat…
