Love Mr. Bill, My lab loves him too.  Squeaker is gone, but, that was expected.  My Lab goes for all the squeakers.  He can't get enough of the toy until the squeaker is gone, then, it is put in his stock of dead toys until he feels like playing.  When he wants to play, he goes to his basket of dead toys and searches for the dead toy he wants to play with.  Mr. Bill is one that he brings out on a regular basis.  Mr. Bill is in good condition but his squeaker is a goner!!
