We are working on teaching him to not fear it. We tried pairing it. This is how it went:
Phod standing near the bathroom smelling it.
The Man gently dropping treats for Phod.
Phod eating the treats and the girls being very jealous.
Phod deciding that this was to scary and going to the bathroom.
The girls had a great time with it, so at least someone is enjoying it!

Snow update:
As of last evening this is the snow in the back yard.
There is one spot in the front with a lot too. Now it is raining the next couple of days, but the temperatures are low over night. Will the snow be all gone by Phenny's day tomorrow? Will Kinley have picked the right day with the 23rd? Will it last longer? Time will tell! (Lady is working very late tonight so won't have a chance to add a snow update to Friday's post, but will do her best to let you all know how it is melting on Saturday).

ReplyDeleteoh deary me Phod... you are a pawcifist pupster and shot-like things are just not your bag, what?! As for that snow, well blow me down if we didn't get a frost again last night too!!! Sigh... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Professor Lee, please grab your hair dryer and help your bestest student....
ReplyDeletePhod if you don't like the noises, maybe you can use that gun in case a mouse will enter your crib again? bet you can knock it out when you load that thingy with peas...
btw: sorry the mama has a meowgraine and she is in killer mode... pooooooor Fievel, huh?
Poor Phod. Bree can't stand the sound of the oven clicking off and on and loses her little mind barking frantically until Mom soothes her. Mom thinks this harks back to something from the Puppy Mill so we understand not liking certain sounds.
ReplyDeleteMy poor buddy Phod. I am so sorry you are afraid of that treat dispensing toy. Maybe over time you will get used to it.
ReplyDeletehopefully he will eventually get use to it :)
ReplyDeleteAnything having to do with treats is A-ok in our book
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
Phod, please don't be scared! Hope you'll enjoy this toy soon! :) :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you guys enjoyed the egg hunting!! Your humans are so nice. We'll have to ask our mom to do the same next year.
Momo & Pinot xoxo
Phod sweetie I'm not a big fan of unusual noises either...especially when it comes to my food. I have all confidence you will eventually realize this treat toy is your friend.
ReplyDeleteHugs madi your bfff
Awe, Phod that does sound kind of scary! You sure do look adorable in these pictures!
ReplyDeleteJakey and Bilbo totally gets it Phod...Arty would probably be on the fence...but Angel Dory would have totally loved it!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that Phod received a French toy for his birthday. Both of my knuckleheads would look at me as if I spoke to them in Czech and walk away. LOL Good luck with the snow forecasting and documentation. If I recall, the date I picked was 4/29 but it's starting to look like maybe it'll disappear much sooner. 😊
ReplyDeleteMaybe if you watch Hailey play with it long enough, you won't be so scared anymore, Phod.
ReplyDeleteWE do hope you will come to enjoy your toy Phod
ReplyDeletehugs
Mr Bailey, Hazel & Mabel
Don't be afraid, P. It has TREATS!!!!! It's a friendly alien!
ReplyDeleteLove and licks,
Cupcake
Hailey looks like she's saying 'Where's mine?"
ReplyDeleteI would be suspicious about something that makes funny noises too. But if it has yum yum doggie treats inside, I might get over it pretty fast! Wow! You still have snow? Even the parking lot glaciers are melted around here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun toy to have - I've no doubt that before you know it, Phod will love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, Phod, don't worry about that thing - it won't harm you. But Lightning would probably run away from it too and wait for me to knock the treats out:)
ReplyDeleteWoos - Misty
Hey Zaphod.... Buddy, don't give this a second thought... One Dog's PLEASURE is Another Dogs TERROR... that is the kind of thingy that makes the World Go Round...
ReplyDeleteYou will get PLENTY of Snacks and THAT is the thingy that REALLY matters.
Our snow is gone so yours will probably be soon as well!
ReplyDeleteWe had one of those treat launchers too and Luke didn't like it either.

Some of those weird sounds freak up out too...like the new coffeemaker that loudly swooshes steam once it's finished brewing. All 3 of us jumped when we came in from a potty break just now! Here's hoping Phod gets used to it.
