but Gayla's post of Pita and the ice made me think to tell ya'll that Ruby loves an old sock(washed and rinsed well) filled with ice. I knot it at the end and she is very pleased. Well for 10 minutes or so.

What does she do with it? None of mine seem to like frozen things except cranberries.

that sounds like just the ticket around here. thanks. we'll try it!

What a neat idea! I'm going to try it with my guys. Thanks.

Well, you'd be surprised! ha! Mainly she just crunches up all the ice into tiny pieces and then flings it somewhere to melt. But it sure is fun!

Did I mention the world's worst chihuahua likes to get it when Ruby drops it and then play with it on the sofa so it can melt there?

my birds prefer dirty socks.

ha! My dogs already have those.

Tell that chihuahua to be careful, our border collie found one and swallowed it whole once; had to take her to have an operation to get it out. Might be harder for a wee chihuahua to swallow one though lol.

Well, wouldn't that be a shame!!!!! (just kidding, I think) She's a mean little thing, I tell you.

Dusty likes the left over ice from those long drinks in paper cups from Hungry Jacks (Berger King to you lot). She runs about with it over her head licking and crunching like a headless chook (chicken)
