Do you have a dog? Do you know someone who has a dog? Do you know a dog? 

Then for the holidays, you need to get them this.

it's a Chinese finger trap for dog kibble. Press the right way, and food falls out. Tug the jug in the way you'd expect it to work, nothin' comes out. It's great for screwing with the mind of a small, intelligent dog, but they make a bigger size too -- I imagine it would drive my in-laws' Golden Retriever to a suicidal despair. (and.... that would be.... bad. Yes.)

Best $13.00 we ever,ever spent on the dog.

hee. Cute; however, I believe my dog would eliminate the fooling around and just eat the jug! Huskies have a fairly pagmatic view of the world; at the dog park, with all the other dogs playing "Chase", Crash just watches them and stands at a convenient point of intercept-- he plays "Head Off the Pack!"

Hmm, we just got something similar for my in-law's Morkie puppy. It uses treats though. Keeps her really entertained and stops her from chewing on their kitchen cabinets.

She's a maltese/ yorkshire terrier mix. Looks mostly like a yorkie with a some white. She weighed about 6 lbs at 14 weeks and is all fluff and energy. See pix here http://weered1.livejournal.com/373131.html

Cutest thing ever, seriously.

Ours is meant for treats, too, at least according to the packaging, but the guy at the store recommended putting his food in there, b/c so many dogs like it so much they play with it all the time, and eating so many treats isn't good for them. So, we do the food, and it's working out well (since his is tiny bits).

....of course, it doesn't change the fact that he managed to get his (new) bag of treats and EAT THEM ALL.

They'd probably give her to you if you want (you don't).

Haha, I am not surprised he found and scarfed the treats. The dog I grew up with was clever and coniving and bored and did all SORTS of evil things. He once got a defrosting steak off of the counter in the kitchen and ate it bit by bit as it thawed. He weighed about 20 lbs and was a daschund/terrier mix.

Hahaha. How about a trade?

My mom's dog (the golden) did that... with a whole defrosting chicken. Bones and all.

Yeah, I can totally see Benton doing that to a steak. Though there are so many things he likes more!


But, yeah. we need to stop keeping treats on the bookshelf. (He climbs up on the couch, and manages somehow to scootch over and get them.

Oh, and BTW, I think it's a terribly unfortunate name for a dog product. When I read the title I was sure it was going to talk about some breastfeeding aid.

hahahaa. I didn't even think of that. Sounds more like something you'd find at hooters than for breastfeeding. My personal favorite tacky name is the hooter hider.
