I Qube for Active Cairn Terriers

Another of Happy Jack's favorite toys is the I Qube. The I Qube is a soft plush toy in the shape of a cube. It's primarily a puzzle for dogs and it contains four plush balls with squeakers. Jack likes to throw the balls or have us throw the balls for him. He fetches and brings them back to us.

When Molly was a puppy she liked to take the balls out of the cube and then stick her head in the empty cube and shake it. I don't know why dogs like to shake things. I'm guessing it is an instinctive kill thing that makes them feel like they are defeating their prey.

We now have two sets of the I Qube: junior and jumbo. To this day both Molly and Jack fetch the balls. We usually squeeze the ball as we throw it so they can hear the location of the ball's destination, go get it and bring it back for me fetching fun.
