We were at Sunshade's blog and we saw that Jaffa had learned how to use his treat machine because it had something yummy in it that appealed more to him than just plain old kibble so mom got Corn Pops for us. I can have this kind of treat with my compromised kidneys so mom is happy about that!
Do you think if we stare at it long enough, a Corn Pop will pop out?
We're really being extremely patient with this stoopid treat machine! Why doesn't it reward us?!Hello - I'm waiting! You can send it down the shoot any time now!
Hey, it worked! The treat machine listened to me, Mitch! Excuse me but we needed two treats and not just one!
Mom has been working with us but so far, we're just not getting it! We both will raise our paws but hitting on it hard enough to send the Corn Pops out hasn't happened yet!We'll keep working on it!
Update:
I was in the kitchen tonight fooling with the treat machine and guess what? I used my nose and pushed down on the bone handle and got a freebie Corn Pop! Mom and dad witnessed the whole thing but naturally, the camera was at the other end of the house! I'm getting it - I'm really getting it and I'm smarter than Mitch! HAHA
Mom told me to keep practicing because practice makes perfect!

ReplyDeleteMaggie! You did it! You know Miss Sunshade figured it out much quicker than her brother too. Maybe its a girl thing.

Congrats on your award. I have a feeling mom will be looking for a treat machine.
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Congrats on your awards.
ReplyDeleteWe hope that our Mom doesn't get us one of those treat machines - we all know the sound of her raising the lid on our treat jar and immediately get on our best behavior.
XOXO

I've started leaving hints about a treat machine for Valentine's day or Easter or...well you get the idea.
ReplyDeleteLuv,

We are glad you liked your award - we liked all your sharings - pizza and ice cream - yummers!!! Hope you figure that treat machine out and hope our Mom doesn't see it and get any silly ideas.
ReplyDeleteWoos, Phantom and Thunder
hello maggie and mitch its dennis the vizsla dog hay nice wurk gitting the treet masheen to mayk with the treets!!! maybe their is a markit for theez things after all!!! ok bye
ReplyDeleteHmm. I learned how to use the ice cube maker in the magic cold box, and I think this method could work for you, too. Stand by the device and stare at your mom or dad. Use the saddest expression in your arsenal. Repeat as needed.
ReplyDeleteWorks like a charm here!
Love,
Ammy
PS: congrats on our award!
Congratulations on your award!
ReplyDeleteI know that must be so challenging trying to get those treats out.
My moms said it is a good thing we do not have one , or i would be trying to get treats all day.
love
tweedles
You brighten our day too :) Hey, guys, did you know there's dog pop corn? Yup, some human came up with it.
ReplyDeleteTwink!
Maggieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I knew you could do it (and before your stinky..LOL). Its good that you can have corn pops and not have to worry about your kidneys.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, a plumber came and I barked at him loud and clear. So mum decided to put my treat machine down so I can stop guarding (I woudln't let him go UP stairs, that's where mum sleeps). Then she forgot about it, and I clean out the treat machine! It was more than half fulllllllll!!! Lucky me! STINKY was at daycare, so I didn't have to share!
Love nibbles,
Miss Sunshade
Way to go Maggie!!! You go girl!!
ReplyDeleteYAY a cornpop!!! yummers!!
Now you just have to show Mitch, but.....on the other hand maybe...not....cuz then he will have to depend on you to get it for him BOL

Who hoo on getting the treat! I'd loose interest if I couldn't get one. Nice award... and of course ICE CREAM and PIZZA are list toppers. We knew that!!!
ReplyDeletenorwood
Nice treat machine - we aren't sure if we could do it - eventually I would tip it over and bash it open against the wall. I used to have a Kong - but I discovered if I threw it against a hard surface the treats popped out - I would sometimes miss and knock things off the coffee table. So now we have Kongs only when we are supervised. No fun!

Sally and Paddy
Good job, Maggie!
ReplyDeleteI knew you could do it! Now... its Mitch's turn!
Congratulations on your award!
Kisses and hugs

OMdoG.. your treat dispensing machine is the coolest!! Mom is inspired to buy one and train Hershey to use it. You sure learn fast Maggie **applause**.. your mom must be so proud of you!! Can't wait for Mitch to pick it up, which we are sure it'd be very soon!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award!
Well done Maggie - that treat machine looks fun, so glad you're allowed popcorn.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award and many thanks for passing it onto me.
I have to instantly return it to you as nothing brightens my day more than your posts and visits & comments to me.
Love, pats & pets

Mmmmmmm! Cornpops! We have a whole box in the cabinet, but our mom hasn't opened it yet. We KNEW you'd get that machine figured out!
ReplyDeleteAire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches
your own popcorn machine?! we're jealous! ;p
ReplyDeleteMaggie, seeing as you're very smart, can you figure out how to get steak bones out the treat machine? When you do, let me know and I'll ask my Mama to get me one. That would be so cool!

Thanks for the award Maggie & Mitch! We think you aire pretty fantastic!! And we have put Corn Pops on our mom's shopping list (she loves them too).... we are very happy... yogurt, marshmallows, Corn Pops,,,, what is next??
ReplyDeleteWe think all dogs are deserving an award so we accept our award with the utmost gratitude and invite all dogs (and cats) (and birds) to share with us! xoxoxo from Toby, Ginger, Jeter & Halle
We think you are brilliant for figuring out the torture, er treat machine! (But we also thought you were wearing some sort of pansy hat in the photos!)
ReplyDeletewags from the whippets
Hey M&M,
ReplyDeleteYouse guys are smart enough that you'll get it. We HAD one of those exact same treat machines but not one of us was smart enough to work it so it became a source of frustration and mom got sick of having to work it all of the time and finally she made dad but it out in the garage where it probably still resides. It's much easier for us just to do a gang barkarthon and point at the treat cupboard. We get the same result and it's a lot easier than figuring out how to push down on that big gray bone thingy.

Thanks, Guys.
ReplyDeleteWe'll post it in a couple days, as soon as we make our list. Since there are ten of us, Mom says we can each choose one thing.

Maggie,
ReplyDeleteYou are such a smart girl; maybe you can teach Mitch how its done!?!
Maggie,
ReplyDeleteYou are such a clever girl! You'll have to teach Mitch how it works! You were so smart to use your nose!
Love,
Janie
I'm sure you guys will get it! It just takes an "accidental" success to tip you off what to do, so I bet you'll be emptying that machine in no time!!

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts and prayers. It helps with our healing. Such a tragic accident and complete and utmost shock is an understatement. Please be safe, and if this tragedy saves one furry kid, just one...
ReplyDeleteThank you again. Time heals they say. Deetz has been quite persistant in making sure I get out of bed and he needs me, so life goes on.
Thank you again for everything.

Thank you, thank, thank you to think of us as day-brightening.
ReplyDeleteWe will do a thank you post soon and perhaps by then your are full experts of that treat machine.
Pinkie tried to organise one of those for Inky's birthday later in the month but the company wouldn't get back to her. Can you believe it?
Not everyone ships to Australia either, apparently...
Honestly...
Hi, Maggie and Mitch -
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your award! Mama says your Mom is right - practice makes perfect for the treat machine.
Love -
Hershey and Kaci
