Kongs. Not the King kind, the dog kind. Our dogs love, love, love them! Like most dogs, our furry children hate being left at home alone. Our neighbors used to complain about them barking all day while we were gone so we solved that problem by letting them stay in the house instead of just the laundry room. Now they bark from the stairs inside the house because they are too lazy to go all the way outside. But they were still bored when we were gone -demonstrated by stolen and sometimes chewed up shoes, items such as reading glasses,mittens, and unmentionables drug into the dog yard, and the obvious- trying to make a run for it when we're trying to leave. Then we discovered the magic of Kongs. This product is made by a Colorado company and is a rubber red chew toy that you fill with goodies. They have to really work at getting all the treats out, especially if you put a little peanut butter inside. Now our dogs can't wait for us to leave in the morning because they get The Kong! When we come home they both run and get their toys so we can see how well they did getting all their treats out! I'm going to buy a large one for me and stuff a bottle of wine and chocolates inside. Don can give it to me the next time he leaves on a business trip!
