Taking some time for my own dogs today. Here’s Pippi playing one of her favorite games, hide and seek for treats hidden around the house. She and Gus both enjoy tearing up the toilet paper tubes to get to the treats.
Adoptable Topaz loves toy play as enrichment!
Pippi’s physical therapy as enrichment, and Gus joins in!
Gus worked on his “nibble” trick this morning.
Gus is learning some just for fun tricks while Pippi does her physical therapy.
Here’s Sasha working on the DIY food puzzle from yesterday’s post! Sasha is available for adoption at Madison County Animal Services - NC.

Here’s Max working on his kitchen towel food puzzle!
Thank you to Jennifer for sending this video :) she says: Here’s a short video of Max with his towel puzzles. When he started out I wrapped them loosely. Now they’re tight knits and a small piece of beggin strips. I use kitchen towels and roll them on the diagonal to give me more length for tying. I know you use TP rolls but Max eats cardboard so I subbed towels. Works great and I always have old towels. He loves this game!
Way to go Jennifer and Max!

We took these 3-month old shelter pups on a socialization outing to Dairy Queen. They got to see traffic, another dog, people, big trucks, as well as all of the sights, sounds and smells of the drive-thru. While that might not seem like a big deal to us, that’s a lot for a puppy! Positive experiences with these types of things are so important for puppies.

Here's Sasha with the Nina Ottosson Dog Tornado puzzle feeding toy. You can hear her using her nose!
To make the game last longer, I put just one piece of kibble or one treat into each compartment, then refill when the dog is finished. However, you could give your dog's entire meal in a puzzle toy by dividing it up into the compartments or even dividing it amongst several puzzle toys.
