This is one of my favourite toys! And I think Mother’s favourite too. Of course, her reasons are different from mine. I love it coz it throws out treats now and then! Mother loves it coz she says it keeps me very occupied and she can go do something else instead of trying to entertain me 24/7. She says I get bored easily (which is true) and this toy keeps me busy for a bit while I’m playing with it and for a little bit after that too coz I’m usually tired from knocking and chasing it around for so long. Great workout!
I can just about hear your mums going “What great invention is this and where can I get it?!?” It’s called the Dog Pyramid because it is sort of triangular with a wider base which is weighted, making it much much harder to get the treats out than those other toys which you just roll and everything comes out. It was created by Nina Ottoson. I have a love-hate relationship with that woman. She makes great toys that always involve treats but I have to really use my brain! When she makes out that just dispense treats every second she will top my list of favourite people.
Mother: *AHEM*
Er.. after Mother of course.
The downside to this brilliant invention is that it is made of plastic. And is heavy by dog toy standards. These 2 combined with the force of my muzzle smacking it across the room can break things. Like glass cabinets. And Mother’s toe. Ok I didn’t break her toe but she’s yelped in pain several times when that slowpoke didn’t manage to get out of the way in time. I slam it against walls, doors, etc. It can get quite noisy if played on wooden floors but should be much quieter on carpet.
Mother got it from Haute Hound but here’s a listing of other places you can find it online.
Here’s me on a night Mother had something else to do than to pander to my every need.




I have a red one too! And am loving it! Sometimes when it’s spinning, I use my muzzle to push it against the wall, alot of the treats spill out from the tiny hole!
It’s a bit noisy though. Mummy always say she can’t hear the tv when she gives me the pyramid to play.
You know what? *eyebrows moving up and down* Our mummies have good taste (not just on the dog pyramids). You know what I mean hurhurhurhurhur…
Hey there,
I love this blog. I have a sheltie too. Her name is Kayla.
kaylathesheltie.blogpot.com
We’re from Singapore too.
Wld love to let her play in the meet ups.
Cheers
Hi bro Taylor!! My pa always complains about the noise and how he can’t hear his movie over it. Then Mother guilt-trips him by saying “well Romeo doesn’t have to play with the toy if we gave him ALL of our attention ALL of the time”. Of course, Father would rather watch his show. Pfffft.
Hi Auntie Dil! Say ‘hi’ to Kayla for me! And maybe throw her some “how YOU doin’” (Joey from Friends style) too. Heehee. I just came from her blog. I’m so sorry to hear she had to undergo surgery! But it looks like you’re taking real good care of her and she’s on the road to recovery! I WOULD LOVE TO MEET WITH HER ONE DAY! (Mother says I say that to all sheltie girls. Well, I’m not called Romeo for nothing eh?) When she’s better, come join us for our sheltie gatherings!!
