Under the bed with the Tricky Treat Ball.After that, she gets one crunchy treat followed by one chewy treat. Then it's time for the Tricky Treat Ball. I put a small handful of puppy kibble in the ball, then she pushes and tosses it around the house to get the little treats out and gobbles them up. It's a great activity for her both mentally and physically, and since she's moving around she dries out a bit from her morning bath.
Sometimes the ball will go under a chair or bed. She can't get under the chair, so she barks for help. But she can and does get under the bed to retrieve her ball.
On this morning, I caught her relaxing near the ball, seemingly enjoying the sun for the few moments that it shone directly under the bed. A few seconds later, she was off to take her morning nap.
Dogs are just so predicatable - and delightful. Their routines rule their lives and ours. our dog has a similar ball thing called a kong. She has discovered that if she runs upstairs and drops it down from the top, she gets the goodies out even sooner.
