Our German Shepherd goes nuts over paper towel and toilet paper rolls. I gave them to him a few times when his real toys were lost again
(he's worse than the kids!), and now, you can't take one off the holder without him staring you down and waiting. He likes to tear apart egg cartons too. They really make a mess, but it keeps him busy...for a while. For some strange reason, even though I hand it to him, he thinks he has something he's not supposed to have...he runs off with it and hides, looking furtively for someone coming to take it back...and that makes him VERY happy.
DH had a German Shepherd mix when we were dating, who terrified me when I'd use a kitchen Dixie cup to get a drink of water...he looked ready to attack for it. At least that was my impression, back before I ever owned a dog, when I was wimpy(er).
What do your pets go nuts for?

I think my dog loves to rip them apart because I talk through them first, and he hates that!

We can't put them on the holder, we have to put them away in a cabinet or they get shredded. I forgot last weekend and lost 3 brand new packages of paper towels in 24 hours.
