Oh yeah and here is the best part. Sugar has been dealing with some allergy related eye issues. In the morning I fix his hair and wash his eyes out with eye wash. All of the dogs know that this means treats will follow so Spike and Gracie sit at my feet whining for me to work faster. Usually they eat their treats and then Sugar runs as fast as he can to a bed and rubs and rubs his face- pretty much undoing all of my work. So I gave them the squeak and treats after I did Sugar today. It distracted him long enough that he forgot all about rubbing his face. After he played with the toy, he layed down for a nap... with his hair still fixed and out of his eyes. It's a miracle!
