Hi Lizbud,

Any insight you can give is so appreciated. Yes, Malone *loves* his kongs, but they are showing lots of wear, and I am scared to leave him alone with them. I just found a catalog that sells them for much cheaper than I can get them, and I am thinking of ordering the black ones. Last time, I got the large red ones, and he has punctured them, and there is rubber that is coming off around the edge.

What else did you give Buddy to chew on while you were away. Malone gets so bored, I am constantly having to think of new things to keep him entertained. I have tried hooves, nylabones (he has those down to a science!), the knuckle bones (but I don't like to give them too often since they can cause diarrhea). The only thing he hasn't been able to chew are the marrow bones I get from the meat market. I like to melt cheese inside the marrow bone, and then freeze them. That keeps him occupied for a little while anyway.
