I found this fun idea to hide dog treats in your backyard and create a “scavenger hunt” for your dog! So, Cooper and I put on our “poo boots”* and headed out to hide said dog treats. Cooper was very specific about where he put the treats, adorable!
*Poo boots: Boots that are reserved for tromping around in our backyard in case we should run into Pele’s yard bombs. =)
Pele saw us get out the treats, so he was ready to search! He didn’t really get the hang of it at first, so Cooper showed him the ropes!
He eventually found 3 by himself!
Things to know if you’re considering doing this yourself:
A: We sat down to make a map of where we were going to hide them, it helped get us started, but Cooper’s not quite old enough yet.
B: Be sure you choose treats that are okay for your dog to have many of. So far so good, but as we got going, I grabbed the package and read, “6 in one day”. Oops, we went about 4 over! Fingers crossed it’ll be okay. =)
Definitely a fun activity that will be repeated! June 11, 2010
Oh yes, and our follow up trip to the train from yesterday ended up being a fun treat! Man am I thankful for the conductor who kept my wallet I had left behind! He even took a fun picture of us riding the train…AND we saw peacocks up close and personal, courtesy of the Folsom Zoo.
