27 Dog Toys That Keep Pups Busy Indoors
A refillable dog treat dispenser toy you can fill with homemade snacks or premade Pupsicle Pops because this will keep your doggo occupied while you sit through your Zoom meetings. Promising review: "Our Lab mix has always suffered from anxiety, fear, aggression with strangers, and breaks in routine. We ordered this product after seeing several ads on our social media. He LOVES it, and so do we! Super easy to clean and refill, long-lasting, and the treat refills don't smell bad like other dog treats! Our sweet boy recently began to lose mobility in his rear end and gets super upset when he is unable to get around independently; this gives him the comfort he needs to just relax and lie down while enjoying a treat!" —Elizabeth Price: $19.99+ (available in three sizes) A level-two difficulty Hide N Slide puzzle perfect for the pup who has little to no experience with puzzles. This is a great way to introduce your dog to the world of puzzling! Promising review: "Love this! You put either kibble or bits of treats in the holes and slide over the cover. It gives my dog a challenge to find and eat the treat, and it takes her a bit of time to get all the holes emptied, yet it is very doable for them to figure it out. They move the slider cover with their nose, and I like the stimulation it gives them." —Nora Price: $11.99+ (originally $24.99) A volcano and dinosaur hide-and-seek toy your pup will have so much fun taking apart. Plus, it's also a squeaky toy, so they will have the added bonus of auditory stimulation. Promising review: "My dog loves these toys, and he was thrilled. He just kept pulling out dinosaur after dinosaur! Six of them, and all of them decently sized. This really is a great value, and the toys are very well made and adorable." —TaylorPrice: $14.99 A practically indestructible Kong chew toy you can fill with your dog's favorite treat so they can get all their energy out and enjoy a lil' snack at the same time. Promising review: "Being on the market like forever just might be the proof dog owners need to actually buy this toy. It comes in all dog sizes and has a lot of potential. For my rescue dog, it doesn't need to be stuffed with treats or peanut butter (too fattening). She loves it for the erratic bouncing action. A regular ball bores the heck out of her. Plus, she's exercising more muscle groups, trying to grab a hold of it. And the Kong is about as indestructible as they come. Buy it once and wait 'til the end of days before it wears out." —StephenPrice: $7.99+ (originally $8.99, available in six sizes) A West Paw chew toy made of a special nontoxic Zogoflex material — that is BPA-, phthalate-, and latex free — your dog will love chewing on, and that won't damage their teeth like some plastic chew toys might. Promising review: "I have five dogs. One is a pit mix who destroys all chew toys in the house and has broken teeth on toys that were too hard (more money spent at the vet). My others don't get their chewing needs met because other toys are either destroyed so quickly or removed to protect my busy pit, but THESE toys last months. They are not so hard to hurt my strong chewer's teeth, and all my dogs love them! My pups stay occupied for hours on end with these. I ordered five large and my home became the happiest home on the planet. Definitely worth the money. Also, both Chewy and West Paw have such EXCELLENT customer service that you can't go wrong. Thank you, Chewy!" —SharlsPrice: $12.95+ (available in three sizes) A variety pack of dental chews in fun shapes so your doggy can enjoy a yummy chewy experience while also getting their teeth sneakily cleaned. Promising review: "My bulldog didn't want me brushing her teeth. The vet said to try these. Now I say 'whimsey,' and my dog runs to get one! She gets one a day and loves them! And she has great teeth! I am SO happy to have found these!!!!" —ChelseaPrice: $34.77+ (originally $38.99+, available in two sizes) A knot tug that comes in an extra-large and colossal size if your doggies loves a game of tug-of-war and they've destroyed pretty much all of their other toys. Promising review: "I got this rope for my pug puppy, who loves to tear everything up since he's teething, and what a win! This is now his favorite toy. Thick, great quality, and bigger than expected." —PugcellentmommyPrice: $4.49+ (available in four sizes and assorted colors, chosen for you by Chewy) A baseball stadium hide-and-seek toy so your doggy can practice their detective skills. Hide the balls around the yard and watch your furry bestie track them down and bring them back. Promising review: "My dogs have enjoyed all of their Frisco toys, and this one has been especially fun. Love that the baseballs can be hidden for hide and seek but also roll for a good game of fetch. Seeing him leap and twist in the air to catch the baseball with his mouth has been so much fun! Once they chew it to pieces, I will definitely rebuy it if it's still available." —Chewy ReviewerPrice: $12.99 An engaging jumbler ball if your dog has seemingly endless energy (but you don't). This will surely tire him out and give you a second to just ~chill out.~ Promising review: "Toy is entertaining, nice squeaker. Our German shepherd plays with this for hours. The toy is challenging to pick up and carry. All of which helps our high energy German shepherd burn off energy." —TracyPrice: $16.99+ (originally $19.99+; available in two sizes) A plush picnic basket with four stuffed toys, squeakers, and crinkles — how can your dog NOT love playing with this?! Promising review: "An immediate hit with my pup right out of the box, who's all about crinkly squeaky toys. Plus, the basket is durable enough to play tug with and will be a good place to stash some treats for her to sniff out. Incredibly noisy, but she's delighted, and this will easily keep her entertained while I'm at work." —Quinn Price: $14.99+ (available in two sizes; available in four additional styles) A rubber football treat dispenser that's bouncy, durable, and is sure to get you a touchdown for being the best dog parent in the whole world. A hide-and-seek hedgehog puzzle with three squeaky plushies your pup will have so much fun digging in to get the little furry pals to come out of their den. A large and tough treat-dispensing chew ball if you may spoil your pup a little too much by giving them treats constantly. With this, they'll have to actually work to get to the treats! (Also, I just have to say there is no such thing as spoiling your dog too much.) Promising review: "We use this every day (sometimes two times a day) to feed our 10-month-old puppy his breakfast. It takes him about 30 minutes to eat 1 cup of kibble from it as we did not trim anything in the holes to make it easier. He loves his 'breakfast ball' and it works great as a slow feeder/mental stimulation/keeps him occupied while we get ready. Such a great toy!!!" —GusPrice: $8.96+ (originally $10.99+, available in three sizes) A Wobble Wag Giggle ball made of durable pet-safe vinyl that makes super weird noises that, yes, can be extremely annoying, but your pup will loooove it. This is great to leave for your dog when you're out for the day so they don't get bored (and you don't have to be annoyed by the noises). Promising review: "My husky loves this toy. It's become his favorite. He sometimes gets frustrated when the kids aren't around, so he takes out his emotions on it, or when he's happy to see someone, he'll bring the toy. I play fight with him, and he loves it. He has stopped digging the yard also since this will keep him entertained. He is unable to break the toy, but he can grab it. I'd say it's for big dogs." —Chewy reviewerPrice: $9.58 (originally $14.99) A scientist-themed strategy game if you feel like your doggy is secretly an evil genius, and they could use a little extra stimulation so they can work through all their evil plans. A puppy tire that'll get your furry pal tired as they attempt to get the treats out of the built-in treat dispenser — or from the long walks you're taking them on! Promising review: "This is a favorite treat dispenser and chew toy for our 3-month-old puppy. It is easy to load with treats, and I usually stuff it with two different kinds, so it takes Oliver longer to get them all out. Plus, he loves playing with it even when it is empty. He loves to play fetch with it, too. It is just the right size for him, and it seems to help with his teething." —WendyPrice: $7.99+ (originally $8.99, available in two sizes) A set of plush toys featuring all your favorite fast food staples because even though your dog really shouldn't eat fast food, they can still play with it, right? Promising review: "Perfect Christmas gift for my 8-year-old boxer/pit mix (his FAVORITE food is a burger). He took each toy carefully out of the box, and carried them around, and hid them in his bed. Very good quality and soft for his mouth. I was so happy to find these for him!!" —CatLadyPrice: $47.72 (originally $56.90) And a Toy Story aliens rope toy so your dog can feel like "The Claw" from the movie. And look how freaking CUTE these little guys are! Promising review: "Our pug loves this toy!! He brings it over every evening to play tug. He lost interest in his regular rope toys fairly quickly, but still loves this one after six months." —LauraPrice: $10.99 A pet toy duo that includes a Goofy tug toy and a Pluto squeaky bottle toy — perfect if you're a Disney adult and you want your puppy to join in on the magic. Promising review: "My labrador retriever loves these toys. Goofy with the pull rope is perfect for tag with my other dog. And the Pluto bottle is great entertainment for her." —janicePrice: $20.88 (originally $21.98) A sliding sushi-themed puzzle for the dog who is super restless and gets bored easily. This will keep them occupied long enough for you to maybe even get some work done of your own! Promising review: "Our dog quickly figured out how to get treats out of this puzzle toy, but it is so handy because he loves it, and it calms him and occupies him whenever we leave. Love this!" —LinmarpiePrice: $18.46 (originally $20.34) A roller dog toy perfect for some indoor activity. It's soft, so your dog can play with it inside without accidentally breaking anything fragile. Promising review: "Very well made. My five dogs love it. It's durable, and it can withstand tug-of-war games. Plan to purchase more really soon." —Chewy ReviewerPrice: $6.56 (originally $12.99) A treat-dispensing ball because this will keep your pup busy while you're trying to send out emails that have been on your to-do list for days. Promising review: "Our pet enjoys this ball every day. He begs for this toy in the morning like clockwork. It keeps him busy getting the treats out one by one." —GeraldPrice: $9.28 (originally $11.99) A trio of stuffing-less toys since your pup inevitably destroys every toy you give them and your apartment ends up covered in stuffing. Promising review: "I thought our labs would have these pulled apart minutes after getting these. They are thin and smaller than expected. are strong, and they have not pulled the squeaker out yet!! They tug on them and swing them around, and they have held up wonderfully!!" —MardiPrice: $12.39 (originally $19.99) A durable set of rope toys because you have two dogs and they can keep themselves occupied by playing with these together. It includes a set of five rope toys for small and medium review: "I was very happy to have a number of these chew toys in one purchase for a good price. They're sturdy and hold up, and happily, they give my 10-month-old puppy something sturdy to chew on instead of the furniture! Thank you!" —KathleenPrice: $12.99 for a set of five (originally $13.99) A plush cactus toy with another toy stuffed inside of it, so your pup can destroy not one, but two toys for the price of one while you're just trying to cook dinner! Promising review: "My 6-month-old pup absolutely loves this toy! She flails it around all over the house. So far, she has not managed to rip it open. (Not sure if she ever will.) But it has stood the test of her puppy teeth!" —TerriPrice: $13.99 (available in two sizes) A soccer ball with straps so it's super easy for your dog to carry around the house. She'll love chewing on this thing and tossing it across your living room. Promising review: "Golden retriever loves his soccer ball and definitely loves playing with it inside the house! Well made and the straps make it easy to grab rather than trying to put the whole ball in his mouth." —ValeriePrice: $12.49 (originally $13.99) An easy-hold Nylabone dental chew toy that's easy for your doggy to hold onto while they gnaw away to their heart's content. And it'll help their breathe smell better!

We're only doing our job as opposition, Sarawak DAP tells GPS
Sarawak DAP's Michael Kong said it is unrealistic to expect the government to slash new borrowings from RM99 billion to zero within one to two years. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : Sarawak DAP has fired back at Gabungan Parti Sarawak assemblyman Lo Khere Chiang for condemning the party's continuous attacks against GPS, calling it an attempt to stifle legitimate dissent and scrutiny. Michael Kong, an aide to Sarawak DAP chief Chong Chieng Jen, said the party was simply fulfilling its role as the opposition and check and balance in the Sarawak assembly. 'Our duty is to represent the people, question excesses, and hold the government accountable. That is what a healthy democracy demands,' Kong said in a statement. Earlier, Lo said Sarawak DAP's repeated attacks on GPS called the government's unity into question. The Batu Kitang assemblyman said previous apologies from DAP over past offensive statements were discredited by their actions of repeatedly undermining Sarawak's leadership. Lo pointed out that DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook and adviser Lim Guan Eng had apologised to GPS over past statements by DAP leaders that offended the Sarawak government and people. He said these apologies, made before the unity government's formation, were quickly discredited by Sarawak DAP's actions. 'Sarawak DAP has done nothing but oppose GPS at every turn, questioning our policies, casting doubt on our initiatives, and repeatedly undermining Sarawak's leadership,' he said. Kong also slammed GPS assemblyman Wilfred Yap, who criticised the federal government for sidelining East Malaysia despite debt reduction by RM22 billion over the last two years. He said it is unrealistic to expect the government to slash new borrowings from RM99 billion to zero within one to two years, and that Yap's criticism 'reeks of double standards and selective outrage' 'It is deeply hypocritical for Yap to condemn the reduction of federal borrowings while applauding the Sarawak government's budgetary approach, which sees an increasing reliance on debt through its so-called 'alternative funding' mechanism,' he said. Kong also questioned Yap's criticism of the recently announced RM100 cash aid by the government to all Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above. 'Cash handouts are one of the most effective ways to directly channel financial aid to the people, particularly those in the B40 group. 'Is Yap now suggesting that programmes such as Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah should be discontinued because they are also cash handouts? 'If he truly opposes cash aid, he must also be prepared to tell the people of Sarawak that they should not receive any form of direct financial assistance,' he said.

Siburan shoplot tenant jailed 6 months for power theft, landlord gets DNAA
KUCHING (July 24): The Sessions Court here today sentenced an unemployed man to six months in prison for stealing electricity to power cryptocurrency mining machines at a rented shoplot. Judge Saiful Bahari Adzmi convicted Hii King Lee, 49, on his own guilty plea to a charge under Section 33(5) of the Electricity Ordinance (Chapter 50), which provides for a fine not exceeding RM200,000 or imprisonment for up to five years, or both. Hii, from Miri, committed the offence at a commercial shop lot in Siburan, Jalan Kuching-Serian at around 10.50am on June 21, 2023. Based on the facts of the case, a team of inspectors from Syarikat Sesco Berhad were conducting routine inspections of electricity meters at the commercial premises when they detected direct-tapping cables connected from the main wirings that bypassed the electricity meter. Further checks found 60 cryptocurrency mining machines connected directly via the direct-tapping cables, all of which bypassed the electricity meter. It was informed that Hii is currently serving a six-month jail sentence for power theft linked to cryptocurrency mining activities, after he was convicted on July 11 this year at the Miri Sessions Court. The accused is also currently facing several drug-related cases and corruption cases in Miri. Deputy public prosecutor Ronald Felix Hardin of the State Attorney-General's Chambers handled the prosecution, while Hii was unrepresented. Meanwhile in the same courtroom, Chang Foh Foong, 53, the landlord who rented the shoplot to Hii, was jointly charged with the same offence but was given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA). His lawyer Michael Kong in a statement to the press after the proceedings said his client maintained that he had no role in the offence committed by his tenant. 'After considering the circumstances and lack of direct involvement, the charges against the landlord were withdrawn, and the court granted him a DNAA,' he said. Kong said his client's only mistake was renting the premises to the wrong tenant and failing to transfer ownership of the electricity meter from his name to the tenant's after the tenancy agreement was signed. 'This incident should serve as a serious reminder to all property owners to always ensure that the name on your electricity meter reflects the current user or tenant. 'Failing to do so may expose you to criminal liability even if you had no involvement in any wrongdoing,' he added. Kong urged landlords and property managers to be vigilant and proactive in managing their tenancy agreements. 'It is not just about protecting your rights, but also safeguarding yourself from unnecessary legal consequences.'

Kong: CVLB S'wak to work with DBKU on traffic, parking woes at Kuching Open Air Market
Kong (second right) listens to feedback from the people at the Open Air Market area in Kuching. KUCHING (July 23): Concerns have been raised over the lack of parking and traffic congestion in the Kuching Open Air Market area, said Commercial Vehicle and Licensing Board (CVLB) Sarawak chairman Michael Kong Feng Nian. He said he received such feedback from business owners during a visit to the Open Air Market earlier today, where he observed ongoing operations of the Kuching initiative. 'Several business owners highlighted the lack of parking spaces and poor traffic management in the vicinity. This situation has been further aggravated by the recent closure of the Saujana Bus Terminal and the adjacent shoplots, which previously provided much-needed parking,' he said in a statement. To address these concerns, Kong said CVLB Sarawak would engage with Kuching North City Commission (DBKU) to explore possible solutions for improving traffic flow and parking availability. On another matter, Kong proposed the establishment of a proper and dedicated interchange for stage buses in Kuching to better support the city's public transport network. He said a well-planned bus interchange would serve as a central hub for stage buses and help create a more efficient and organised public transport system. 'As part of our continuous efforts to improve public transportation in the city, it is crucial for Kuching to have a proper and dedicated bus interchange,' he said. During his visit to the Open Air Market, Kong also walked around the area to engage with traders and business operators, seeking feedback on the impact of the Kuching service. He said he was encouraged by the generally positive response, noting that many local businesses appreciated the increase in foot traffic brought about by the bus service. 'Many have expressed satisfaction, especially noting that the increased foot traffic has brought renewed vibrancy to this part of downtown Kuching, which had seen a decline in recent years,' he added. Kong also encouraged members of the public to provide feedback on the Kuching initiative, which is currently under review. 'CVLB Sarawak is seeking feedback from the public to ensure we continue to serve the community effectively. Your input is invaluable in helping us shape a more reliable, inclusive, and people-friendly public transport system for Kuching,' he added. Feedback can be submitted via an online form available at:

Sibu sends seven exponents to 6th Tang Soo Do Championship in Kuching
Kong (fourth left) hands over the TSDMDK flag to the Sibu team. SIBU (July 23): The Sibu Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan (TSDMDK) Association will be sending seven exponents to compete in the 6th Tang Soo Do Championship in Kuching from July 26-27. Organised by the Samarahan Tang Soo Do Association, the event aims to provide a platform for participants to showcase their skills and raise their standards in martial arts. The seven Sibu representatives are Karen Liu, Ng Mei Siang, Dylan Soo, Eileen Soo, Carson Soo, Aaron Wong, and Lai Neng Jie. In a speech delivered by his representative Derek Kong during the TSDMDK handing-over ceremony yesterday, Sibu MP Oscar Ling highlighted the increasing challenges faced by youth today. He said they are growing up fast, but their mental maturity often lags behind the content they are exposed to. 'We need more training programs more than ever to help children regain discipline, regain direction, and rediscover themselves,' he added. Ling also thanked the instructors, not just for teaching martial arts techniques, but for nurturing the values and character of young practitioners. He expressed appreciation to parents for encouraging their children to learn martial arts, saying it has 'planted the seeds of hope for their future'. Ling also expressed hope that the spirit of Tang Soo Do would continue to grow in the community and guide more youth towards the right path in life. Meanwhile, TSDMDK Sibu president and Grand Master Teng Tiong Kee extended his gratitude to Ling for his financial support. 'Your contribution has significantly bolstered our association's confidence and motivation to move forward,' said Teng. championship Kuching lead Sibu Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan
