When we were visiting with Rain's family Gramercy thought this little toy was the best thing ever! This is why we went to the pet store - specifically for this "hide a squirrel" toy. Lucky for Grammy he was able to get two fun toys on that trip.
This plush puzzle toy not only keeps dogs occupied and eliminate boredom - it also helps develop a dog's intelligence and puzzle solving skills! Right now we are working on "finding the squirrels" but I imagine we will find out fun ways to work Grammy's mind with this toy.

First try with his new toy! D was interested and Gramercy wasn't interested in sharing so he motored down the hallway with toy in mouth...
Lots of fun and Gramercy is a smart boy as you can see!
How about we play tug instead!
"I have you now my pretty squirrels!"
We are heading to the vet today to have Gramercy's front and back legs looked at. He never seems to be in pain but, we want a vet to really focus on what she thinks of his legs so everyone including his future family know what's going on.
You can see in the video below, as he's running to the toy - his right front foot. It doesn't bend like a normal dog leg. The guess is that his front leg was broke at some point and the break was not treated and healed on its own. Gramercy also pulls up his back left leg. There's some old scars on that back left leg so that could be some of what's going on. So, stay tuned for an update on our vet visit - I'm sure Gramercy will be pretty popular with the vet crew given his great personality and cute self!
Zippy has that very squirrel "house," too, and Zoey has a "bird house" from the same company/line. They are also far more interested in the "houses" than what's inside. They pull out the "babies" and leave those scattered on the floor while they run around carrying the "houses." :-)
