I'm so glad that you wrote about these toys, Joan. I've ordered Elmo the Treat Wheel and the hide a squirrel. I had no idea that this sort of toy existed so I appreciate the info. One of the challenges for me is that my job requires me to work from home in the evening sometimes and I need something that will keep him happily occupied....these toys sound like a good idea for that. Elmo loves, loves, loves to ride in the car. That works out well, I often take him with me when I'm running short errands. When I was a kid, our minature poodle Bridget went everywhere with my Dad, which often meant being in the car. It makes me smile to think of my Dad and Bridget now when I'm out and about with my little guy. I think my Dad would be happy that I have such a good backseat driver, LOL.

For Christmas, my two got the Star Spinner and the Treat Wheel, the hide a bee, hide a bird, the plush gingerbread house with three gingerbread toys, and they also go the intellibone and the plush dog with removable rings. The star spinner is way too easy for him. The treat wheel was hard for him to get the caps off until I put the loops on them and he will go right to the toy and pull them all off…so now I am going to remove some of the loops so he has more of a challenge. I work with both of them when I give them the new puzzle toys so that they know what they have to do. Desi is very food oriented and Dolly is a little grazer and except for her wanting some of the treats all the time, she is not driven by food the way that Desi is. They both love to go out in the car in their booster seat. They just sit and watch out the window and at stop signs and stop lights they love to bark at the people in the cars next to me LOL They have a puppy stroller (which Desi chewed the zipper apart) and they really like being in the stroller too. They are very friendly to everyone. I got each of them when they were 8 weeks old, and they were socialized from the day that I got them.
