Day 3: Duping the Dogs?
Well, although we've been doing a project a day, I find I am not blogging about our activities each day. So I will try to get better at that!
Our day 3 activity was lots of fun, and it involved the dogs- Mosby the Grey Ghost (our lab) and Stonewall Jackson (our Chihuahua) were thrilled! :)
"Really? I get to play, too?"
First, my 4 kiddos slathered peanut butter on tiny apple dog treats we bought. Then, we placed 3 small squares of wax paper on the floor, and covered them with red plastic cups. Next, we took one treat (while the guinea pigs...er... I mean dogs.. weren't looking), and placed it under one cup. We called the dogs over, shuffled the cups around, and spread them out on the floor. then, we sat back and waited for the dogs to make their choices.
Mosby chose the right one!
Stoney anxiously awaited his turn...
Especially as he watched Stonewall eat a peanut butter slathered treat!
Mosby was so greatful, he wanted to hold hands.
Mosby sat out while Stoney chose, but it wasn't easy for him. You can't hear him whining impatiently in this picture!

And the result? Both dogs were able to choose the correct cup each time! They are HUGE fans of peanut butter, so I actually think they could smell it a mile away! :)
