Casper wasn't much of one for playing with toys, at least not regular stuffies. But when he learned that the Buster Cube (the red cube above) yielded treats with a little bit of work, that was a different story. The only reason he isn't attacking it in the picture was because he'd worn himself out emptying it.
Like many Greyhounds, Casper is all about food. His stomach knows when it's time to eat, and if I let it slip by just a little bit, he'll let me know! I don't know if that's only because he just loves food, or if it's his metabolism and hyperthyroidism that make him extra hungry.
I asked Dr. Toby what kind of care Casper needed for his thyroid other than medication, and he said "Nothing." I was surprised. I think they check the level at his annual physicals, but other than that I just drop one pill in his food dish with his kibble and he gobbles it up. It's a very inexpensive medication, too. Sounds like a complete non-issue to me.

LOL... love that picture with the Buster Cube! I haven't used one of those in a long time. Might need to get one for Reagan.

Casper is one of only a couple of dogs I've seen who've been able to figure the thing out. It's never an issue giving it to him in front of Sara and Grayson because they know they can't get the goodies out - they don't even bother him.
He has picked up a stuffed toy a few times since I originally wrote this post.
