A couple of weeks ago I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of two packages before I left to go to the agility trial. One came before I left and one didn’t. The one that did arrive was my new sun shade shelter tent. It’s smaller than my other tent and it’s super easy to setup and take down so I think it’s going to be perfect for trials when I’m traveling without Randy. (Which seems to be most of the time now).

The package that didn’t come was from Clean Run, and had some pvc connectors that I have been looking at to make some simple practice jumps for training at new places, and also this cool toy called a “chase and pull” It looks like a sort of a whip handle attached to a nylon cord with a fleece toy at the end. Supposedly it’s great for building toy drive in dogs that aren’t totally into toys because of the range of movement that you can get with it and it’s also supposed to be great exercise for the same reason.

Well…it got a big thumbs up from Raven. Here’s her picture review.

Here she is checking it out. Then look at how excited she is that it moves! LOL

She figured out right away the chase part of the game, and the tugging part wasn’t too bad either she says.

This was my favorite picture that my husband got of her jumping for the toy! Gotta love that effort!

Unfortunately, Raven seems to be the only one of the crew that is really thrilled with the new toy. Rogue was pretty sure that the pole/handle part of the toy was a stick that I was going to beat her with. Goofy girl. She did interact with the toy a little, but I really have to watch that she doesn’t think the pole is anywhere near her. Lucy thinks that all toys with squeekers are meant to be stolen when no one is watching and taken onto the bed to be de-squeeked. She made one sneaking attempt to take the toy when she thought I wasn’t watching, but to her dismay the dumb thing has a rope attached. LOL She has dissmissed it as one of my stupid tricks to ruin her fun! Twist, Zoe and Penny could really have cared less about the toy. I got a brief chase and tug out of Twist and Zoe, but nothing from Penny. Here’s the pics of Lucy & Rogue.

All in all, the new Chase and Pull toy is not a hit with everyone, but it is definitely a winner in Raven’s opinion.
