I picked up one of the squirrel toys (it just spent the last day in our dirty laundry basket - per their instruction). I also picked up a couple of those plastic cat balls with the balls inside. I've not gotten them before because I was sure he'd break them and end up eating the plastic (I still think that will probably happen but we'll see). I did see some of the other treat dispensing toys at the store (the plastic ones) that look like they'd be fun. Hard to choose one and they don't seem to be labeled for any particular size. At any rate, we're testing all the new stuff out and it's usually pretty easy to see what's a hit or a miss with him. Thanks for all the input!

I put a treat or two in them and then stuff them with not only the squirrels but a bunch of other small toys that we have here. Desi will find a way to get them all out to get the 'cookies' in them. Dolly can sometimes get the 'cookie' out, but I can't really add any other toys because she can't figure out how to get them out. I do that sometimes when I am going out. I give them the toy, and sometimes I use other treat-dispensing toys. ---In Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com, <chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Thanks all...I think I'll grab a bunch more stuffed toys...he loves those...his favorite game is us chasing him around trying to get the toy. Anybody tried those toys like the tree trunk that has squirrels in it and they have to get the squirrels out? ---In chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com, <mommabear7772004@...> wrote: Chis love little stuffed toys , mine have a bunch !

Anybody tried the toys that have them find treats? Some of them are pretty expensive. Anyone have a DIY solution? any info would be really helpful. Thanks Megan Burleson (& Valken)
