Pollux looks so much happier now than he did when you first adopted him. He's so much less frightened now. It does my heart good to see him having such a happy life, thanks to you and Randy. I think you're theory of why he tears up his toys is pretty accurate, too. Chewing is one way dogs calm themselves.

[@cindybailey2011]

Aww, Renee you are such a good dog Mom! Glad you have figured out why Pollux tears the stuffings out of his toys. He is such a sweet boy and he couldn’t have found a better family to love him.❤ Have a wonderful blessed Easter!🐇🐥

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Thank you so much! I love this boy to pieces!

[@kefirheals7383]

Awwwwww - gotta love that Pollux. He really hit the jackpot when you and Randy decided to bring him home from the shelter. Luv, Luv, Luv to Pollux.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

He's the bestest boy ❤

[@palucas]

I remember when you adopted Pollux and you were so upset that he had to spend Christmas alone at the shelter because it was closed over the holidays. I was so happy when you went to pick him up. He is such a sweet boy. Your a great mom Renee, to your daughters and to Pollux and Maxxie. 🥰🥰🥰

[@Acapulc941]

It still makes me sad to think of Pollux being in the shelter for 491 days. But thank God that you found each other, because you are the perfect family for each other. Happy Easter. Leigh

[@martastauts3240]

Thank you for adopting your doggie. He is so cute.

[@melissacallan3991]

Pollux’s toys are then like a pacifier to a baby. It soothes him. I just love 6:18 Pollux.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

You are absolutely right. I do call them is "passy"

[@melissacallan3991]

The joy Pollux gets from his toys makes me calm seeing how happy he is and sentimental.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Awww me too....he just loves his toys soooo much. And new toys are especially loved 😊

[@Lisa-yg9tn]

Pollux is so lucky to have found your family as you understand his needs and help met them.

[@Silvie_youtube]

Pollux is such a sweetheart! I'm so happy he is finally loved and happy! And Moo is a great big brother to him! I love the relationship you have with your fur babies, Renee! ❤

[@missy67]

Aww, dear sweet Pollux! Your theory makes a lot of sense! Makes me sad to think of Pollux in the shelter so long by himself, but boy did find his "happily ever after" family! I too have to pick up stuffies every day, it seems to clog my vacuum if I don't!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

It breaks my heart...and I can only hope that Pollux doesn't remember those days alone. And oh the vacuum! I have to pick up stuffing too because our robot will get clogged up. Seems like it's a never ending job

[@maggieslifeisawildride512]

That makes total sense! And it's funny to see his face when he's chewing...calm and happy. Such a smart boy to know how to calm himself.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

It does...and I can't believe it too me this long to figure it out.

[@maggieslifeisawildride512]

@@WelcomeToMyCurls Lol! As puppy parents we just see the behavior not the why they're doing what they're doing. In the end they like to hide their insecurities but you are an awesome parent and figured it out. Mr. Pollux couldn't be in a better home.

[@ketonesandstuff2989]

I have been waiting for a new video on Pollux. It makes me laugh to see Pollux's toys.

I just love Pollux !!!! It makes me happy to see how much you spoil the little guy!!! He deserves all the love and happiness you give him!!! I appreciate the fact that you let him chew his toys and respect that they belong to him and he can do with them as he wants !!!! He is so lucky to have you for his parents !!!

[@AidaJof]

Ohhh, my - it is hard to imagine that it's been three years plus since you adopted sweet Pollux. That is how long I have been subscribed to your channel on that video that went viral and ever since then I have been hooked following not only his antics but those of Maxxie as well as of your family. I am so happy that he found a home in yours because the care, love and devotion you and your family have given him is the absolute best a puppy could get and this gorgeous guy loves you to bits💞💞💞 I agree with your theory as to why he destroys his toys and only what is his to comfort himself and out of happiness when you are back home🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for a lovely video. Have a Blessed Easter to you and your family.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I can't believe it's been 3 years myself! Time goes so so fast

Yes I Must agree Renee you are a Great dog Mom have a Grest weekend 👍👍

[@hadassah6085]

Could you feed Pollux separately in the laundry or another room at the same time, so he doesn’t have to be distressed about it?

[@sondrasmith2691]

That's our boy!!! He first brought me to your channel! And the Maxer is just the most handsome boy! ❤

[@ginny5937]

I just LOVE Pollux!! 👏💕💐😍

[@ellaaltman2137]

Ms. R...first so glad to see you looking so well! As for POLLUX- very familiar as my rescues do the EXACT same thing - NO stuffed toy will make it past these two and the toybox is overflowing with "skeletons". They know the weakest point and shake the stuffing all over with the maid (ME) forever picking up pieces of fluff, and just like POLLUX eat none of it. BUT the BEST part of this Vlog is seeing how amazing POLLUX looks since becoming part of the Hayden household. On Rescue Day his coat looked so rough, his eyes so sad and NOW well he is one beautiful and happy pup. Thank you Renee for a great Vlog!

[@judekikuta4265]

I love Maxxi and Pollux. I have a soft spot for Pollux because of his background. You guys are the best thing that ever could have happened to him. He’s not just a dog but a true member of the family. That’s how all dogs should be treated. My two girls are rescues too. Maddie in particular loves soft stuffed toys. She attacks the appendages or body parts that stick out and gnaws them off. Then she pulls out the stuffing and the squeaker. Thankfully she never ingests anything. She goes into a trance like Pollux does at 13:06 - this is the self-soothing mode. When my husband or I come home, Maddie will greet us at the door along with Zoe, then Maddie runs off to fetch a toy to present to us. She never greets us at the door with a toy already in mouth…she checks out who it is first, then races off to get a toy. She is particular and searches for the perfect toy. Sometimes it takes her a while to return. I find this so endearing. I need to pay attention to who gets the better toys, me or my husband. LOL! Zoe will also gnaw on toys occasionally and pull out the stuffing but her favorite thing is licking them. She is an anxious girl and licking is her soothing mechanism.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Oh that's funny! Pollux will sometimes grab a toy when I get home and take it to the back door. He always wants to take his toys outside...and he does this to me and not Randy. I ask him to drop the toy..and he always does....then I open the door. He's the bestest boy. Sounds like we have kindred spirits in our pets 💕

[@sallyjaynes2433]

Sweetness prevails no matter what 🐕‍🦺🐩 💞

[@positivecarma52]

Your theory makes sense, I also believe he does that to identify his toys from Maxie’s, maybe or while he was in the shelter, he never received toys, or toys were taken away from him and given to other dogs or taken by other dogs…either way he doesn’t have to worry about that now! Bless you for giving him a great life, with Maxie to show him the ropes ❤

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I never thought of that before....that his toys could have been taken away and given to other dogs in the shelter. Oh gosh....that makes sense. I don't think he ever had anything of his own and that's why he loves his toys so much. 🥹

[@positivecarma52]

Hi Renee , it’s good to see you looking well. 🥰I think you are right and it is wonderful to see he doesn’t do it because of any fears he may have. Pollux and Maxxie are wonderful doggies and they are so lucky to have a great Fur Mum like you ❤️❤️❤️ PS: have a Happy Easter

It brings my heart joy to see how much Pollux is loved. He sure does deserve it, he is such a good boy. And never has to worry about being alone ever again. He hit the jackpot when you brought him home. And Maxie is such a great big brother for showing Pollux how to dog. I'm glad you are feeling better. You are definitely looking well. Thank you for loving that sweet sweet boy.

There’re such good boys. Your theory sounds spot on Renee! And lm glad you’ve found the trick to saving his beds 😊 Because there’re not cheap for sure.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Oh so sweet! Brecken is home with her kitties so we have a house full this weekend.

[@mardysgirl66]

It’s interesting you discovered that because I have noticed that the only time my dog really chews up his toys is when I am busy and not giving him direct attention. It makes me so sad to think of Pollux’s life in the shelter for so long. I have always rescued dogs, but mostly from other people and circumstances that made them need to rehouse them. But one Rat Terrior was rescued from the shelter. Pollux is so blessed. That you found him and made him a member of your family. Thank you for sharing him and Maxie with us all.

Hey, thanks for that explanation, it seems to fit. Maxxi and Pollux are lucky, thank you for taking such good care of them.

[@leeannmartinez7150]

My dog does the same thing…I personally just think it’s some dogs nature. Once I realized that she did this, I stopped buying her expensive dog toys, I buy her cheaper ones and let her enjoy her playtime destroying and licking her “kill”. I also make sure that any toy I buy her has no plastic, only embroidered eyes, mouth etc….( for choking purposes) We also adopted her from a shelter, she was only there for a day before we adopted her. I give her a new toy once a week after her bath…and She does it all over again.🤣. We have had her for 9 years and She is the best girl.🐾♥️

I am so happy for Pollux's that he found you! ;-) Pollux shows a typical dog jumping action to get rid of stress.

[@eegrmk7974]

My little Beagle-16lbs-came from an Amish puppymill where she was the mother. They released her to a shelter where I adopted her about 3yrs ago. She basically ‘clings’to me. Find out from other people who adopted puppymill dogs theirs also ‘clings’ to them. I sometimes would find torn up items when I returned home. Separation anxiety said the vet. 2 times she took large cardboard boxes waiting to be thrown out from the dining room where I left them thru the long kitchen to the back door where she tore them into tiny to large pieces. With one shredded box, I could barely open the door. Took me a day or 2 to realize she must have been angry to drag a box larger than herself to tear it apart at the back door. So now I cute either boxes or spread open cereal boxes and leave them at the back door for her when I leave. It works. I just pick up the pieces and toss them away. The vet said at 3 yrs, it’s her way to show you she wants to be with you etc. Ok. If that’s the worse… I love my Beagle to pieces. She is so sweet and loving. She absolutely dislikes me on the cell phone. Ok. Tit for Tate. Cell for boxes. Fair enough. I ain’t complaining

[@faeryhill1]

Absolutely fantastic being focused upon Pollux and Maxxie 💞 Pollux is absolutely gorgeous 😍 🐕❤️‍🔥🌟 fabulous that his destructive streak has been curtailed somewhat 😂 he's very intelligent knowing what's what ❤❤❤️🙌❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Take care 🌟💜😊

He knows all right! He never touches anything in the house that is not his. He's very respectful

[@sharonbowers9929]

My Bentley does this to his toys. He loves a new toy more than life. You maybe on to something. Bentley was the last puppy to be purchased from the farm. So grateful he doesn’t destroy his bed. Probably because we keep his bed in the family room where we gather. If he naps with me or sleeps in his kennel with Henry he doesn’t destroy those. Thank God! 😂 Yes, he and Henry, (other smaller Beagle), sleep in an oversized kennel, because they both will pitch a fit if separated. Glorious doggie chaos! ❤️❤️❤️

[@kimberlystuart4537]

He’s very smart. Dining rooms are to eat. Dogs play with their mouths. The hand to mouth thing is why he’s chewing up the bed only in dining room.

[@Danielleb723]

Dogs are the best. I had a schnauzer that recently passed away she was 14 but her hearing went bad and the vet said that was common in schnauzers. Anyways just what I was told. She was so good at being hard of hearing that we didn't even notice till it was almost completely gone. I believe your Maxi is a schnauzer so I'm just passing on what I heard. I don't even know if its preventable just something to maybe keep in mind. Prior to our experience we had never heard that before.. We had 14 wonderful years but their lives are never really long enough.

[@traceyhaines9488]

Happy Easter Renee and family

[@anonymous2513456]

Mine dies the exact same thing in the same circumstances. Never chews anything apart except stuff he knows is his and it's always when he's pretty happy. If he's unhappy he tends to just go to sleep.

[@ljjackson7106]

I used to adopt boxers from rescue and they taught me how to train dogs to not have food aggression by making the dog sit and wait until I placed the bowl down and gave the okay. To this day (with our last surviving lab) my husband is amazed how she sits and waits for me to put her food down and give permission (although she was never a problem I just made a habit of it along with "go on your bed" when they would get under my feet!) It is a simple trick that takes away a bit of their dominance. Not sure it will work on Moo but worth a try? Renee, I can't believe your mother doesn't like your natural hair color(s) - it just keeps getting prettier and you look so youthful and healthy! I remember when you first adopted lucky Pollux and shared his history! ❤ Laura in FL

[@breewithlove]

Ohhh that Pollux (and Maxie) are just the sweetest and bestest!! By golly I think you’re right on with your theory! ❤ 🐾 ❤

[@susanhilton1360]

My toy poodle puppy will be 2 in July. I purchased her from a breeder. She was the fit puppy to leave the litter. Well, she tears up all her soft toys too. I end up throwing them away when all the stuffing is gone. She has torn up one bed. I have the donut beds that you have. Just got have to love them. Thanks for your videos.

[@joangrigsby1031]

Wow,,,, he is a very expensive boy.Glad you got him figured out.

[@ceciliagutierrez1389]

My Rosie did the exact thing with all her toys. She got sick the first week of February and I had to keep taking her to urgent care because she kept vomiting and couldn’t keep any food down. After 3 different Vets we finally figured out that poor little Rosie accidentally swallowed a squeaker from a stuffed toy. She almost died! She was in the hospital for 7 days and finally pulled through. She is finally back to herself, but I will never buy any toys she can shred or squeaker toys. Watch your fur babies when they’re playing. Glad they have the best mom!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Oh gosh....I'm sorry to hear that! I'll be sure to keep a closer eye on Pollux

I wonder why POLLUX was NOT ADOPTED....He is such a SWEET BOY. 🐕🐾❤️🐾

[@reddragonfly1788]

My boy does the same thing except he swallows pieces so he can’t have soft toys, not even the heavy duty ones! He does have toys that he loves but only certain types. He is a little spitfire and gets super excited! Ripley loves Henrietta, but he killed her in less than 2 minutes 😂 I love my boy and your boys too!

It's funny my dog, Mydas, who looks just like Pollux even down to the curled up tail, does the same thing. he is a rescue that I got when he was just 9 months old. He will be 3 yrs. old in Sept. He tears up all of his toys just like Pollux and he trys to tear up his bed in the living room which is right by the pellet stove. Sometimes he will grab his bed and take it into the bedroom. The only weird thing is that he is very picky with dog food though. I have tried numerous brands. What brand of food does Pollux like? i have been watching your channel ever since you got Pollux and it was just so amazing how the both look the same.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

My dogs eat Holistic Select Lamb and Rice meal. Pollux is not a food-driven dog. He's very picky about food and really doesn't care about it at all. Maybe you could try boiling some chicken for Mydas and putting some into his food. My guys LOVE boiled chicken!

[@grandn8646]

@@WelcomeToMyCurls Funny you should mention that. I already mix in some chicken to get him to eat lol. something else I have found is sardines in soybean oil. Mydas loves them and that was recommended by his vet because it is good for his coat. Thanks for replying.

[@snapesnape938]

The Kong brand sticks works wonders. My dog was the same with stuffed toys got those and within a month he started grabbing the sticks to chew hard and the stuffed for fun squeakers. Less toys being destroyed

[@featherkitty50]

My GSD has ALWAYS SHREDDED his toys! It's a HUNTING INSTINCT! I give him card board boxes & things he can destroy. In the wild he would rip his prey apart then eat it. Since it's not eatable he just shreds it. He has NEVER been in a shelter.

Walk him or run with him, help him relieve some of his anxiety, I do that to my dog and he comes home feeling so calmed after a good walk or run ...

I walk Pollux every day if possible. And he has full run of the backyard. This doesn't change how he treats his toys.
