"SQUEAKER REPLACEMENT: Wrigley has 1 large and 4 small Lambchop stuffed dogs. He broker the squeakers from squeaking them to much. I ripped them open and replaced the squeakers wrapped in a small amount of stuffing and sewed them back up."

"I replaced several of these squeakers in Bitty's toys. Unfortunately I thought it was small balls. I used these in Bitty's toys but this could not work for me."
