{01may2012: busy buddy}

(Holy cow it's already MAY!)
Darwin came to work with me the other week, and on the way in I managed to drop her bowl of food losing half of it. So at lunch we walked to the nearby pet store, Mud Bay and I decided to get her a new food toy. I figured with a food toy, I could leave it at work and wouldn't have to carry her food bowl back and forth (and potentially drop her food again). I was torn between the Busy Buddy Squirrel Dude or the TreatStik (which was on sale... and I have a hard time resisting things on sale). I ended up choosing the Busy Buddy because I liked that it was rubber and not plastic (or nylon as the TreatStik page says) and I worried about the noise of it if she's using it at work and the plastic (nylon) getting scratched up. I picked up a small bag of dog food to leave at the office too (minimize things to lug back and forth), but they didn't sell her normal food (Acana Pacifica so I chose another grain free option, Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream Formula. We came back to the office and I put a couple handfuls of kibble into the squirrel and let her at it.
So far so good.

  1. Kuster loves the Tug A Jug, which is made by the same people who make the Squirrel Buddy! I'd say that yours is a hit. Ours love their Taste of the Wild, too!

  2. Hi Darwin and B: Wowee, I love how you can take Darwin to the office with you. We don't get to do that. I think that the crunchy food is a winner, we don't get the crunchy stuff. Sometimes my grandma slips us some of our friend's kibble when we go there to visit. Will you be able to get Darwin's food over there?
