A very shy-appearing quiet and (deceptively) innocent-appearing professor of British ancestry I knew had one of those cans and could employ it without setting off people’s alarms. ---

My beloved male greyhound who I sadly lost last year had a thing for pawing at stuff to see what would happen and then perk his ears at it in a most adorable way. So I got the brilliant idea of buying a can of those sneks and reinstalling them in a cardboard box with a lid he could pull off. They didn’t spring like they did in the can but he did seem to like it. ---
