Do they still sell tube socks?

[Cameramonkey]

I've checked Walmart and Meijer, and neither sells tube socks. Anyone seen them anywhere? Maybe a TSC or other farm supply store?

We have a 10yo boxer that we trained to get a toy to tug on instead of jumping around and on you with her front paws (why they got their name). We have noticed that she doesnt like to pull on the hard rope toys anymore, but does still like to tug on her cheap, plush monkey without stuffing. Unfortunately if we tugged as hard as she can, we'd rip it apart in no time.

I figured I could make soft and relatively strong pull toys from tube socks that can easily be washed or even thrown away when they get too bad. Trouble is, I cant seem to find anyone that sells them.

Suggestions?

I thought they still made them too. Yeah, other than the ones you mentioned, maybe a flea market or Goodwill.

A suggestion: I grew up around dogs. My dad would take old jeans & cut the denim into 1-2" strips lengthwise. He would then use 3-4 strips tied on the end & braid them. This would yield a 16-20" long tug (tied at both ends). The dogs loved them to tug on & it was an inexpensive way to keep them happy.
I have done the same for my dogs & our 1 yr. old pitbull loves to play tug with the denim toy. Hope this helps!

Flea market.

I still buy tube socks, get them at Wal-mart. Seems like they are sold out a lot, sometimes I have to go back 2 or 3 times to find them. Look by the Dickies brand stuff sometimes they're there.

I find them at WalMart by us as well.

When i looked at walmart, I looked with the other socks. I'll try again by the "working man's apparel". I assumed that socks would be with, well, socks.

I think they keep them right next to the shorts.

Thought Walmart still had them.

I usually find them by the other socks but they don't have nearly as many of the tube socks and sometimes are sold out but will have them the next time I look.

Teaching your dog it's ok to chew on socks isn't the greatest idea in the world.

10-year-old dog teaches you what he wants to chew on.

local wallyworld does not carry them,(I like the Haynes) had to go to wally website to get them.

I still get them at Penneys. I wear boots (work and western) most of the time. They've got great seamless tube socks. Last for years and somehow stay in place. Very reasonable price especially when Penneys has one of their huge sales.

The interwebs. You can get anything there.

My dad gets his at WalMart as well. Try the Avon store, that's where he hits.

I'm wearing Tube's that my Daughter bought me for Christmas from Kohls right now. Socks and Underwear... That's all I ever get anymore.

For a puppy, yes. Otherwise, see below...

Exactly. I also find spots of blood on the rope toy. Methinks she is starting to have some dental/gum issues. Not so much that she turns down rawhides though. LOL

Its just not Christmas until you get socks and underwear. I'm a freak. I buy all new socks and underwear every year. No, Im not OCD, but you have to admit the feeling of new socks and underwear is very nice. Almost as good as a hot bath after working out in the cold, or dry socks after walking around for hours in wet/damp ones.
