play time

The puppies got a new toy last night. And no, it is not just an empty water bottle (although Franklin has gotten endless entertainment out of those before, and empty tupperware, toilet paper rolls, etc).


I simply cut a small hole in the bottle and put a few treats inside. This was one of their first attempts at figuring it out. Winston clearly didn't get it (although at times he would follow Franklin around with it, hoping to snag a treat for himself), but Franklin took to it right away and could have spent all night pushing it around the house if I would have kept putting treats in it. He even found it sufficiently entertaining when there was only dog food inside. I think we found some solid puppy-entertainment.

    1. He pawed at it a few times, but was never invested enough to roll it across the floor, and thus never got a treat out. We'll give it another try again tonight. Maybe like they say, he's just too old for a new trick/ toy...
