I can't remember who it was, but one of my friends blogged about their cool toy from Canine Genius, and I immediately knew I needed one too! So my mom ordered one for me. It's the blue thing in the picture that looks like a bowling pin. When you roll it around, TREATS come out! It's amazing.My mom had to go to the post office to pick it up for me. Unfortunately, there is a big sign that says dogs aren't allowed in the post office. The mailman noticed that it was addressed to "Lenny" and started to give my mom a hard time about it! She explained that I was her dog and that I am in fact a Canine Genius. He let my mom sign on my behalf. He wanted to know what kind of dog I was, and then he wanted to tell my mom all about HIS dog - a Pomeranian. He was quite proud because the dog's photo had been selected for a dog picture calendar (not the Dogs With Blogs calendar).
While my mom was out doing errands, she decided to go to Barnes & Noble. Keeley's mom Erin had posted about this book, and when my mom saw the picture, she had to go find it. It has a fox terrier right on the cover! She was thrilled because our Barnes & Noble also had it, in the bargain aisle.When my mom brought it up to the register to pay for it, she got all chatty and gushed about how excited she was to get the book, because it looked just like ME on the cover. The cashier asked if I was a fox terrier. It turns out that she has an Airedale! She informed my mom that Airedales look similar to fox terriers...(um, thanks! We knew that.)
It's nice that people are so proud of their dogs, I think.

That looks like a cool toy. You should have just put your paw print on the thing they wanted signed. That would have shown that silly postman...

hi Lenny, that does look like a cool toy. we have one that treats come out of, but it doesn't look anything like that. we hope you like it. we love ours.
our mom notices that people like to talk about their dogs a lot. everyone has a dog story, even if they don't have a dog. and they seem to have a lot of dog opinions also. they especially like to have opinions about poodles - some good, some not so good. it wears mom out to try to spread the truth about poodles.

Hey, that toy sounds like a fun toy but rubber toys are never my type...Did you manage to get all the treats out?
Love licks,

Lenny, Lenny!
I'm sure you're way advanced for the doggie genius toy, but enjoy the treats anyway!
Isn't it funny how much the hoomans will talk to each other if it's about dogs when otherwise they might not even look at each other or say a word to one another?? Like my girl says, dogs bring the world together.
(Personally, I think presidential candidates should have to campaign with their dogs so we can see them interact with them. That would tell us a LOT).
Goober love & smooches,

Glad your mama got that book!
Genius Huh? Do you know how to get the treats into the toy too? I am good at getting treats out of my kong, but when I try to put them in, they keep disappearing.

Hey Lenny, is that toy Jackson-proof? I doubt it! Hehehe! Your book looks nice. Are there lots of lovely WFT pictures inside? J1 is always blabbing on to people about me and the joys of WFTs. At work she's got lots of photos of me (and the Xmas one of you!) and it always gets people talking. J x
That is such a cool idea what your mum has done with your crate!
And a toy that gives out treats is always a winner in my book!!!
River
What a great toy. The postmen don't seem to want us to have our post do they.
Simba xx
thanks for introducing the cool toy to us... i shld get my owner to order one for me right away...
Hey Lenny! Hows your new toy? Do you like it? It looks totally pawsome, and blue is sooo cool!
I don't know why the postman gave your mom a hard time when he is also a doggy person...he should be so proud to have met the mom of 'Lenny'!! :)

I can't believe that treats come out of that toy and we don't have one. What is wrong with our Mom!!!
My Mom is proud of us, too, and is always telling people about us. I think it's great when families love their doggies!

Hi Lenny! I just sniffed your blog! Your new toy looks so cool! I need one too!

Lenny,
That's a cool toy!!
Have a good time taking out each treat.
Oh Lenny,we must have that toy!!1 Where did your Mom get it???A belated congrats on your award!!!!!Can't wait for the Super Bowl Party! Love A+A
Hi Lenny, boy we need to get our parents to find us one of those toys! We are in great favor of anything that dispenses treats!
Aire-hugs,
Poppy & Penny
I am going to tell Mother to go and purchase that book immediately. Then, I will tell Katherine to go suck her toe, as my breed is on the cover. We are the best, as you know, Lenny!
Hi Lenny,
I've got to get me one of those toys. I'm seeing them everywhere. Let me know about their chewability. Mom is tired of me killing off all my toys. So glad your Mom got the WFT book. Even better, so cool it was in the bargain aisle! BTW: we went running this morning, 3.2 miles. We are slowly improving our distance and time!
Your pal,
Kirby
Wow Lenny -
That toy does look awesome, but I just don't get the post office rules - we want eaqual rights to go in and leave our paw marks for our packages.
Anyhow, cool book too - hope you and your family have a great week!!
Dory
That toy looks like fun. We love all of our treat toys. Are yougoing to go around pawtographing copies of the book?

Hi Lenny
Your new toy looks real cool. I especially like the treats part.
We are lucky coz our post-hoomans are very nice and they know I receive lots of mail. They won't let me into the postshop though. It is great the hoomans love us so much, but this is the way it should be.
Love from Hammer
