Dog Dayz...

Ok new day, new discovery.  I'm trying to find something to keep Dok more entertained while in his Kennel... currently we are not allowing Pip and Dok to be out at the same time if Mike or I is not home... that means a bit more time in the kennel than he is used to.  (poor kid)  He is so destructive with his toys, its difficult to find one that will keep his interest AND stand the test of time.  His favorite, of course are the stuffed toys with the squeakers.... I just can't afford to go through those, he will kill them in under a minute.  He also loves his Kong, and it keeps him busy, especially if I stuff it and freeze it with all the right goodies!  (he loves banana and plain yogurt frozen).  Yesterday I picked up for him an everlasting treat ball... its made out of some squishy blue rubber stuff, and I thought for sure he would tear it to pieces, but it seems pretty durable.  I did throw away the treat it came with because all it is is wheat and bi-product crap.  But, here is the deal... I don't want all of his enrichment to be about food.... I want him to have something to play with that will last and has nothing to do with food.  Is that too much to ask?  Does he even really need that?  So, to try and get away from the food toys I bought my first ever Nylabone... so far he does not seem all that interested, but here is for hoping.  I'm trying to rotate their toys a lot more frequently so that maybe he will find them more interesting (and then maybe, just maybe I can actually buy him another dog bed with out having to worry about him eating it).
As far as training today, we are off to a slow start.  (or should I say I am off to a slow start!)  I'm about to go to a movie, and then when we get back I'm thinking of doing a short walk and seeing how that goes.  I'm not sure at what pace I'm supposed to be doing this, its all kind of trial and error at the moment...

OH, and I almost forgot... THEY MAKE TIKI DOG!!!!!!  Seriously, it gotta be like crack for dogs as Tiki Cat is crack for cats!  I bought 3 cans!  I think I"m going to freeze some in a kong for tomorrow!  SUPER COOL!!!!!
