Why buy Milk Bones or Pup-Peroni Snacks when there’s ice? It’s Panzer’s favorite treat. We discovered his affinity for frozen water when the refrigerator’s ice dispenser spit out an avalanche of cubes one evening and a number of them hit the floor. Ever since, Panzer’s been hooked.
He now recognizes the sound of the ice dispenser and comes running even if he's in the midst of a heated wrestling match with Reacher. There are also times when Panzer seeks out ice on his own. He jumps against the refrigerator where the dispenser is, but right now he's not quite tall enough for his paws or nose to push the button that activates the machine. As soon as he gets a few more inches on those legs of his I'm certain he'll figure it out.
Panzer is quick to snatch the ice cube out of your hand or off the floor, but then he drops it just as fast. He loves it when that chunk of ice skates across the tile like a hockey puck. More often than not it ends up beneath the lip of a cabinet or in a corner. That’s okay with Panzer. He's happy to paw it out which usually sends it sliding sideways. Then Panzer's on his way, too.

It’s hard to know whether Panzer considers ice cubes toys or treats. He actually eats some of them. Others he allows to melt. That's fine with me. It's preferable to mop up a what-used-to-be-an-ice-cube puddle than the other kind.
