Football Treat Ball

Mom is always looking for new treat balls for us. Recently she got us the StarMark Treat Dispensing Football to play with during the Super Bowl. Dog Dad decided we should test it out before the game. We used training treats and after our first try Dog Dad took the advice on the package and trimmed one of the hole sections to allow the treats a little easier egress.

Mom bought the medium size for us and it does tend to get under small areas. However, we loved it because we could easily manipulate it with our paws and noses.

Katy kept hogging the football so Dog Dad eventually put down a second treat ball so I'd have one to play with too. I played mostly with the second ball as Katy was obsessed with the football. As you can see from the pictures I did try to get a little time with it when she wasn't paying attention.

Who needs Stockings?

All the treat balls were left by the chimney with care in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. Mom talked to us before we went to see Santa this year about what we wanted for Christmas. While Bailey was big into all kinds of toys, we mostly use our toys for pillows and Annie will occassionally gnaw on a Nylabone, but she has plenty. What could Santa bring us that wouldn't be a waste? Well what Mom realized is we do play with our treat balls. Even when they aren't full we will roll them around the house, bat them into walls and generally have a good time with them.

Santa searched but could only find one type of treat ball we didn't already have. The elves have been busy making toys so he has been doing his dog shopping online. However, in consultation with Mom he did offer to fill our treat balls instead of stockings this year and when we woke up on Christmas morning every treat toy in the house was filled with treats. We had a wild Christmas morning that continued through the week as some of these treat balls are more challenging then others.

Wordless Wednesday: Playing with the Treat Ball

Lots of awesome stuff going on and we hope to share more soon. Mom decided to capture me playing with my treat ball.
