Why We Hate the Ever Lasting Treat Ball


Daisy has this toy called the Ever Lasting Treat Ball. The basic concept is that you put a dome-shaped treat into a rubber ball. The treat is shaped in such a way that the dog can't just pull it out, but rather has to lick it to get it. It's kinda like the dog version of "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" When Daisy gets into these things, she's like a dog on crack. The other night, she was going crazy with it. When we went to bed that night, Daisy was in the loft working on the treat ball and panting like crazy (apparently this is hard work!). So, she came into the bedroom with it, panting and licking. Rachel kicked her out. The next thing we knew, we hear Daisy panting and licking on the baby monitor! She decided that maybe Maya wanted to listen to her work on her treat ball. Rachel kicked her out of Maya's room twice and finally had to close the door. Daisy then moved back into our bedroom and had to have the door closed on her there as well before she finally gave it up for the night. There's nothing more annoying than being tired from the baby's late hours and having to listen to the dog heavily panting as you're trying to sleep.
