It was a real scorcher today and we decided to delay our evening walk with Ayla until the sun went down a bit more and it started to cool off a bit. So instead we played with her in the yard a bit to get a bit of the energy out of her and allow us to sit on the couch for a few minutes without her going nutso. So we were playing with the soccer balls and throwing various toys for her (we still don’t quite understand the concept of “give” although she has bring down pretty well…although that could just be a coicidence lol). 
Anyway, after our session was mostly done and she was no longer running after the ball but instead just slowly walking over to it and seemingly not so interested anymore, I decided to pull out a new distraction which is a big block of ice made in a Cool Whip container with beef stock flavoring in it.
Needless to say she was doing everything she could to get the thing in her mouth and inside her belly as quickly as possible. She got rather wet in the process but since she was outside anyway, it’s all part of the fun. She didn’t come close to finishing the whole thing but she definitely seemed more interested in eating the ice block this way versus the normal water flavored ice…and I can’t say I blame her lol.
