FAMOUS RECIPES
AUNT JEANNIE'S ARCHEOLOGY KONG (for advanced dogs) LAYER ONE (deepest):
roasted,
unsalted cashews · raisins · freeze dried liver bits LAYER TWO: dog kibble,
cookies or liver biscotti ·

Cheerios · sugar-free, salt-free peanut butter · dried banana chips, apples
and apricots LAYER THREE:
carrot sticks · turkey or leftover ravioli or tortellini · Kong Toy (the
larger the better!) Pack as tightly as
possible. The last item inserted should be an apricot or piece of ravioli,
presenting a smooth "finish" under
the main opening. LIGHT VERSION: substitute crumbled rice cakes for cashews,
Caesar croutons for
freeze-dried liver, fat free cream cheese for peanut butter. - by Jean
Donaldson

KONG ON A ROPE: Dry dog kibble · appropriate Kong Toy · Rope Take the rope,
pull it through the
Kong Toy and knot it. Hang this upside down from a tree, deck or post. The
small hole should be facing
the ground. Take the kibble and fill the Kong Toy. Make the toy hang just low
enough that it is out of
your dog's reach. The dog will spend hours trying to retrieve the kibble from
the Kong Toy. At the end of
the day, take the remaining kibble and give to your pet as a reward. This is
advanced work for your dog.
