So one of the down sides to having a smart pup is convincing them to use their smarts for good rather than evil all day. Chewing bones is good. Chewing trash is evil. Chasing balls is good. Chasing cats is evil... and so on. Needless to say I'm always looking for new ways to help Winnie use her brain for good. We get lots of exercise, go new places, see new people, learn new tricks, and best of all play with new (or rotated) toys!

About a month ago our fellow corgi blogger Kelly from
Corgi Butts reviewed a new toy called the Kong Wobbler. I liked the look of it because it's bigger than most toys we have for the win-monster and dispenses food in a completely different way than her other toys. (I like to be tricky and put a little less food in her dish so she can work at getting the rest of it out of a toy... it keeps her problem solving for good, not evil.)
I decided to try it and here are the results:
Like, Gibson, Winnie at first was a little scared of the wobbler. She guessed it was going to be fun but wasn't sure how it worked. After I swatted at it myself for a minute she got the idea.
(Sorry for the shaky camera and kinda long video... this was my first time doing all of this. I'll get better, promise.)
It's easy to use (the top and the bottom unscrew so it's easy to fill and clean) and both Winnie and I like it. We've been playing with it for a few days now and I'll likely put it away for a week so she doesn't get bored but at the end of the day it gets two paws up. :-)
And as far a "food" toys go we also like the

was a big hit!

I got one of those for Whiskey too. She loves it, and I do the same thing- She plays with it for a few days then I put it away so she doesnt get UBER smart with it and bored. She loves the little thing and its great entertainment for me. :-)
hehe LOVE the video! She is too cute :) What video editor did you use to add the text? I can't figure out how to do that...
I know this is crazy for someone that works with websites all day but I actually took two video clips on my phone. Then edited them on my laptop using Windows Live Movie Maker. It came on Windows 7 and there is an option to "add caption" where it let's you add the next.
... and by "next" I ment "text."
Ah, darn, I have a Mac! I shall find another way! hehe
And the Mac vs. Windows debate rages on!
