I've since tried cheese and that works too; it can be cut into long but thin pieces easily visible in the grass.<BR/><BR/>When I bought the pvc, the guy at the store looked at me like I was crazy when I described the corner pieces I had seen in the magazine (or your blog - one or the other!). I should really go to a specialty store rather than a big box as I'm sure they would have them.<BR/><BR/>Cardboard would be a cheap alternative too. So thanks, these suggestions will help. Now I just need to drag my lazy butt off the couch and get to it!Muttsandaklutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551047401085562752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503349630059822189.post-68987197388515376872008-08-18T23:44:00.000-04:002008-08-18T23:44:00.000-04:00Freeze dried liver treats are large and white so s...Freeze dried liver treats are large and white so should be easy to see. Some people here use meatballs from Costco (I think), just broken into slightly smaller chunks than the whole meatball; I guess the smell gets the dog right to them.<BR/><BR/>If you make your pvc box with corner pieces that have a riser connection (so there are 3 tubes--one at a right angle to the other two and with threads), you can then just use various sizes of inexpensive screw-in plastic risers. They make them as short as a couple of inches and as tall as a foot or more. Go to the irrigation department at Home Depot (or maybe a better hardware store) and tell them about this and they should be able to help you find the pieces or similar ones.<BR/><BR/>Other than that, you could just take pieces of cardboard and fold them in half (so they make sort of a tiny a-frame) and use one of those at each corner. Height varies with the size of the cardboard. <BR/><BR/>Probably lots of ways like that to get it up 2 or 3 or 4 inches.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.com
