haha! I have not had that happen with pieces of kibble but boy have I had it happen with a few of Ripley's nylabones. Usually they slide under the stove and he digs and digs right in front of the stove as if they will come out that way. At least this gets my attention. There is a space between the cabinet and the stove where occasionally one of Bella's balls winds up. She sits on the floor staring at that space sort of willing it to come out on its own. Malone sweetie, your mommy has lots more where that came from. You will surely not starve!
