If you think Kong is the last name of a movie gorilla, you don't
have a dog. For those of us with hyperactive dogs and puppies, a Kong
is a lifesaver. The hard plastic toy, which comes in a variety of
shapes, colors and sizes, allows a dog owner to stuff goodies into
the toy to keep a dog busy for hours. Few dogs will refuse them.
But it's not always easy to come up with new things to jam into
the Kong to keep a dog's attention. For example, my dog has learned
that two goodies jammed inside the Kong can be dislodged if she picks
up the Kong and throws it down enough times. There is some canned
gooey stuff you can buy to spray inside, but my dog doesn't
appreciate it.
What's a mother to do?
