Happy Turkey Day

Moose and I are stuck at home because it is way too soon after his surgery to travel to my family which is a 7hr drive and all the getting in and out of the car that it would entail.
So instead we are having dinner here at home including chicken (easier for us single folk) mashed potatoes and green beans which he is having along with his usual kibble. Awhile ago I started using a Kong at mealtime to try to slow him down (typically finishes his kibble in under 60 seconds!). I started putting an empty Kong in his bowl just as an obstacle but now I put part of his kibble in the Kong and plug up the hole with the fat end of a carrot and cut up the rest to put in his bowl (he loooves carrots!). Now it takes him almost 15min to finish his dinner! He will eat part of the kibble in his bowl then take the Kong to his bed and work on that then go back for the rest of what is in his bowl. He really loves it and somewhere along the way he learned to bring me his Kong on command!
