Oh, Bob....

Last night, I moved Bob's bed from our bedroom to the hallway outside.

He came up to bed with me, took one look at it and went back downstairs to sleep on The Forbidden Sofa.

I suppose that's a win?

Today, a new toy arrived: a ball that you put treats inside, so that the dog can entertain himself by getting them out. I put a small handful of his kibble inside, and he had a lovely five minutes rolling it around the floor, but then he decided that there was probably a more efficient way to get at the last few treats:

lol! Bob is all about the efficiency, clearly.

He's a working dog! Not just decorative.

Your dog really is an awful lot like my dog :D

Have you ever tried a GoughNut ring with her? I ordered one yesterday: they claim to be almost indestructible, and they'll send you a new one if it gets trashed....

Smart Bob.

I haven't but they do look pretty robust!

She hasn't chewed up any of her Kongs, either. Plastic and cloth are apparently more chewable than rubber :)

I did think about trying a Kong (and, indeed, *somewhere* we have one that I bought for Jo but she never took to), but the Amazon reviews starting "I have a Staffie and..." put me off!

[juliet]

Oh gosh! I think Sid prefers things that have more feedback when you chew them, iyswim -- gnawing on rubber is a long-term game and she maybe hasn't the patience ;)

Yeah, I do worry that Bob won't be interested in the indestructible ring when he realises it's neither squeaky nor food-producing! I'm afraid that I'm not paying £8 a week for a Kong teddy, though: he does love his teddy, but killed the squeaker in a couple of days and is a bit sad that he can't make it work any more.
