Weekend Hound Blogging: Ice, Ice, Phoebe

Phoebe discovered her new favorite treat last week: fresh icicles.

I broke one off to see what she would do, and she carried it off a few feet and then bit it into a rain of shards. Then the real fun started, namely trying to pick the pieces up again. She kept working at it until she figured out how to do it at which point she ate all of them.

I broke another off for her and she ate that too. It wasn’t long before the porch was littered with icicles and Phoebe was shivering from the cold as she ate them. Eventually, I got her inside where she warmed up and then wanted to go back out to eat some more.

Icicles, the ultimate dog treat. They’re free, non fattening, provide a challenge, aren’t a choking hazard. Your pup will love ’em.

  1. Vacume has cool ears. I tried giving Joey some ice cubes, but he took them and tried to hide them in the house. He wasn’t interested in icicles, though.
