| Cool Toy... Revised :) OK everyone.... I have just discovered the COOLEST invention ever!! It's a dog puzzle. Great for dogs with high energy levels, or dogs that are just plain bored. It's a ball that you fill with your dogs' food or treats. You can just put their meal in it and then they can work for it! It's a puzzle because your dog has to roll it just the right way in order to get anything out. I got it for Zoe because she has so much energy and I thought she would really enjoy it. I'm attaching a video so you can see how quickly she caught on to it. She rolled it around and all 3 of my dogs ate I just think it's a great toy for dogs!! I bought it at wal-mart tonight for $6.88. http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?use...entTime=235857

| THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for that great video. I am off to Walmart in a few,I will have to buy one for Chizzie. My son's former girlfriend has rats (YUCK! I HATE RATS, THEY ARE SNAKE FOOD) anyway, she bought one of those rat exercise balls. You should have seen Chizzie! She thought that was the best interactive toy ever for the 30 seconds until we could catch up to the poor little rat skimming across the floor. |

| That looks like so much fun for furbabies... I think Daisy is too young yet, the ball might chase her.. LOL However, I'm going to get one and have it ready... Thanks for the idea. |

| You can put food in from either side, and you can "shake" the food out if there's any left in there. There's a cool dial on one side that you can set to either "min" or "max", so your dog can get the food out easier, or for more of a challenge. For beginners, the instructions say to leave the dial switched to "Max" so they get more food out with less effort, and also to leave the other side open as well. That way they will learn that if they roll the ball, they'll get their food. As soon as they catch on, you can close one side... then switch the dial to "min" and it will be more of a challenge. Keeps your dogs brain working and helps them have fun. We are LOVING it!
