Huh. Haven't seen them in Switzerland...Antlers? Huh. Haven't seen them in Switzerland. <br /><br />I bought one of those cubes for lily the pup. She was, actually quite good with it. We hated it because it made so much noise banging against everything. I now have a soft ball that works on the same principle - we like it much better. Not sure where to get it in the US. Petsmart, Petco maybe. <br /><br />Lily will hold a toy down with her paw and try to pick it up with her mouth, like she's tricking herself. I wonder if she's smarter than we are sometimes. <br /><br />Planet dog toys are cool, and fairly robust. We a big pink bone that Lily loves, a glow in the dark ball and some other rubbery things. I'm not sure where to get them, though....3lainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412838511025880953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585638012794043667.post-55467674165356546582011-07-08T10:34:21.975-04:002011-07-08T10:34:21.975-04:00LOL!

We used to have a lab/border collie cross and were lucky enough to get lab temperament with border collie brains. Unfortunately his herding instinct won out and since the only thing he had to herd was our six cats... well, let's just say he was a VERY frustrated herding dog! Anyway, try rubbing a little peanut butter on the antler - it makes it much more interesting.Abigail Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708693060207815920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585638012794043667.post-47545202356795688412011-07-08T00:46:49.996-04:002011-07-08T00:46:49.996-04:00I'm laughing at how Darcy already has you two ...I'm laughing at how Darcy already has you two trained! You feed her, clean up after her, play with toys to amuse her - you are her own private circus!<br /><br />Re: Petsmart. They love us there because we spend a ridiculous amount of our life savings there. Lucy actually shops. She goes up and down aisles, sniffing the product until she decides what she wants, then she takes it in her mouth to the checkout stand, stands on her hind legs, and places her purchase on the conveyor belt. (even if it's not her turn) Then she goes to the bagging area where she watches the clerk with an eagle eye until I pay. The clerk then hands Lucy her purchase, Lucy grins with the purchase between her teeth and heads for the car. Parker, on the other hand, pees on everything, so we disavow knowing him until Lucy's done shopping. <br /><br />Gotta go walk L&P now. It's 11:30pm, the only cool part of the day. Yeah, I'm in my nightgown, but the neighbors haven't reported me yet. I know you're doing the same with Darcy. Scratch Darcy's hiney for me. I'm sure she's already trained you how to do this!LucyParkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237811276304905966noreply@blogger.com
