Kong's are a wonderful thing!

Try putting out your dog's quota of food the night before you are going to leave him with a Kong. Say, as you feed him tonights food lay out tomorrow's too. Take as much of tomorrows food as it takes to fill the Kong and fill it. If it is wet food, no problem as long as it sticks together. If you feed dry food add enough water to fill the Kong to the top. Then prop it up in the freezer so it doesn't spill. In the morning you have the perfect thing to keep your dog amused for hours! That bit in the bottom....don't worry about it - it just keeps him using his brain and keeps him busy!
