Well, Moose has started hitting the bottle! OK, actually it is more of a jug... specifically a Tug-a-Jug! It is a new toy I got him to help keep him busy. The video shows his first attempt at playing with it. It is made out of a lexan-type (like Nalgene) bottle with a rubber 'rope' that pulls treats out of the bottle when it is done just right! He played with it for almost 30 min, still did not get all the goodies out and then promptly fell into a deep sleep! At first he was not very good at it so I filled it up pretty full so it would be easier but I just gave it to him a 2nd time and as I write this he has figured out that he needs to leave it flat, push the rope in with his beak then tug it back out to get the kibbles. He is nothing if not persistent, and I think pretty smart for a labbie!

Hitting the bottle

Parker and I say a big hello from snowy Montreal! That is a really awesome toy, he looks like he's got it figured out though : )

Pretty cool. I'll have to get a Tug a Jug for my lab. You should post it to You Tube. Your dog seems pretty mellow.
ReplyDeleteHi! That looks like a pretty cool toy! My Owners say we might need to get one for my friend Chip since she has taken to chewing on phones lately!

Hi again,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Owner Girl said she got all my tags on someplace called ebay. But she thinks the place she got that specific one from isn't on there anymore! Mine is pretty small but she thinks they had two sizes. She was pretty bummed that the place she got them before was gone because a couple of them have gotten lost (I have a matching tag for every collar) and she wanted to order more. Plus they were really cheap (like $3) Good luck, I hope you find the tag you are looking for!

Hi again again! Heehee. Your question about the tags got Owner Girl thinking she should find some to replace my missing ones and she found this listing that has the star tag!

Moose is a smart Labbie indeed! I might have to get one of those for Freia, bones bore her now and we still have four more weeks to go.. Also, thank you for the kind words about Sable and my crazy day.. What is it with pets and cars? I guess we get so wound up about them that all else goes out the window... Tina & Freia (woof!)
ReplyDeleteHey Moose,
ReplyDeleteI have had one of these for over a year - these are awesome to play with! Thanks for the suggestion on the carrots!
Love, Dozer, Dottie and Cooper
