The Pyramid.

The Dog Pyramid.  One of our Christmas gifts.  The Pyramids in Egypt are incredible structures that have stood for eons.  We’ll see if the Dog Pyramid will similarly stand the test of time.  And the test of us.

Frodo was the first to try the Pyramid.  You put treats in it and there is a hole near the top.  Because the pyramid is bottom heavy,  it stands upright.  Making it a challenge to get those treats out.  Frodo figured out the key to getting the treats within about 2 minutes.  It was NO time before he was batting the thing around the rec room, treats were flying everywhere and he was cleaning them up like a vacuum cleaner. 

Then it was MY turn.  It took me a LITTLE longer to get the idea – but then I got so excited about knocking it around, that I didn’t even stop to eat the treats as they came out.  It was a pyramid-knocking frenzy.

Then it was Paxton’s turn.  As we know, Paxton has an even shorter attention span than I do – so my human had to show him how to get the treats out.  Several times.  But then he figured out that if he carried it around, THAT was even more fun.  My human had visions of the pyramid being destroyed on its inaugural trial – but it didn’t break.  Yet.  If this toy sees the New Year, we will be doing commercials for it.  It DOES seem well made - and it is tougher to get out the treats than the round treat balls we had in the past.

By the time each of us had our turn, we were panting and tired out.  Which IS the objective of the toy – at least from our human’s point of view!  Just make sure you use it in a room where there are no Ming vases or antique china on the tables – as it does become a bit like roller derby when we get going.  Time will tell if this pyramid will last – but so far, so good!!!
