The difference between being self-employed and otherwise employed becomes obvious on so-called Cyber Monday. That’s when people use their work Internet connection to do online holiday shopping. Well, if you’re self-employed, like me, you probably did some of your online shopping over the weekend instead. That’s how I learned something icky about my top dog gift pick for 2009.
I’m sorry to report that the Nina Ottoson Pyramid toy is made from *hard* plastic, like the Buster Cube. I assumed it was rubber, like the Canine Genius and other newer food-delivery toys, but I was WRONG. I guess the shiny surface should have tipped me off.
You have my sincere apologies.
The reason this is a problem is that these durable toys are NOISY. And, I mean stab-yourself-in-the-eye NOISY on hard-surface floors.
So, if you have wall-to-wall carpet and furniture that doesn’t dent or scratch easily, then this still might be a great buy.
Alas … for me, the quest for just the right dog toy for Lilly continues.
Thanks for telling us. We have all hardwood floors, and I *hate* the buster cube. We use it only in the crate when we’re *not* home. You should hear the cacophony from the crate while R works on one! The entire crate shakes and jitters.
