Okay, so like with kids, and you get them some crazy bells& whistles awesome toy, and they are more happy playing with the box it came in?

Moko has found himself a new favorite toy.

A Chobani greek-yogurt container that he stole from the recycling bin. The kitchen is scattered with rope toy, nylabone, deer antler, ball, kong, etc... His favorite thing though is this silly plastic lil dome.

He is crated when unsupervised, but after going out and having a succesful potty session he is rewarded with some free-play and/or interactive play in the kitchen, which is gated off. He LOVES this stupid little plastic container! It can be chewed on, tossed, or best, pounced upon with forepaws to send it skittering across the floor for chasing!

I only let him play with it when I'm in the kitchen with him so I can throw away the peeled off label or make sure when it gets really torn and sharp-edged it can be removed. I expected it'd be shreds within half an hour... But we're on day 3 with this silly thing. The label is gone and it's full of puncture holes from little puppy needle-teeth, but he hasn't actually destroyed the thing yet. It's too funny to watch him self-entertain with this impromptu "toy."

This is great! More Yoghurt for you - more toys for the puppy! And probably this plastic is "healthier" than regular dog toys because it's food grade.

Very good point!

Same here, alle the puppy toys in the pen...they all want to play with the empty plastic bottle

yes, plastic [water/soda] bottles make great noises and skitter nicely when pounced on.
