Desi has always been food driven. I wondered what Dolly & Desi do when I am gone. I think Dolly sleeps the whole time.
So, I wanted to give Desi something to do to get his treat because normally I havent' even closed his gate and the cookie is gone. Dolly usually saves hers until I get home. But, now I hide treats in various toys.Dolly isn't as driven by the smell of a treat as Desi is, but I make hers a little easier than his.

Thanks Joan, I'll try that. One of the quirky things that I've noticed about Elmo is that he doesn't seem to play with any of his toys when I'm not here. Maybe a little food incentive in the squirrel tree will change that. I do continually worry about the quality of his life when I'm at work...which is a fairly large chunk of time. I wish I could change that but *someone* has to earn the dog kibble :) -Beth "It's just a moment, this time will pass."

I got it for $4 at Petco and when I came home I saw that it only had two sqauirrels Desi liked playing with it, so I started putting a cookie in it before I go out. I then fill the trunk with a bunch of the other small dogs toys that we have and then he works at getting to the cookie. He does a great job with it.

My Elmo adores the squirrel tree thing that can be found on Amazon. It's pretty easy but it's THE favored toy right now, loves to prance around with the squirrel in his mouth - it's a good size for a Chi. I was also pleasantly suprised by how sturdy the toy was and how well-made. And funny squirrel tree story....Elmo played with it on and off by himself for two days, with me stuffing the squirrels back into it whenever I tripped over them. Then suddenly Sunday night he decided that it was all too much work (apparently) and hauled it up to the couch, deposited it on my lap and stood there with an intent, expectant look on his face - as if I was going to pull out those squirrels for him. No dice <vbg>. Having just reread your email, Shanna, I'm not sure this is actually what you are looking for. It does not have a treat compontent. But I'm so happy with this toy, I decided to post my response anyway. -Beth "It's just a moment, this time will pass."
