I wish I knew how to keep them from chewing up their stuffed toys. I have the same problem with both of mine. Although now at 3 1/2 years, Buffy has slowed down on the destroying. They will actually last for a couple months for her. But now we have 11 month old Abby so the destruction continues. I have quit buying expensive ones because they don't last long. I now go to Goodwill and buy kid's stuffed toys for $1. We affectionately call them the latest victims.
