A safe treat

[PattyInAK]

Willy, Alex and Misty get frozen, stuffed marrow bones for a treat and it keeps them busy for a while.  I bought three hollowed out marrow bones that are about 3.5 inches long, with an opening of at least one inch in diameter.  I line the inside with some peanut butter, then place the bones standing up in a bowl or some kind of container that will keep them upright in the freezer.  I then stuff the bones with cottage cheese, a little dry dog food, more cottage cheese, and then I freeze them for at least 24 hours.  You can also fill with cottage cheese and tuck a small Milk Bone or something inside.  Use your imagination.

Anty PAtty we iz comin' to your house!!!!!!!!!!!    What else have you been saving for the furkids for the foreber house?!?!?!?

[Dee Dee and Hallie]

Excellent idea! I was going to try this with yogurt but haven't gotten around to it yet. Where do you find the hollowed out marrow bones?

[LUVMYGUNNER]

I layer mine with cottage cheese, low fat yogurt and peanut butter then sometimes I put Mother Hubbards treats in them also. I also use this for my Kongs.

Great idea! We'll have to try that. When you give them those treats do you feed them less at their normal meals?

[LUVMYGUNNER]

The stuffed Kong or marrow bone is supposed to be part of the meal. I usually make them at night and freeze them,  then when I'm gone longer then usual I give it to Petunia. Gunner does not like the Kong.

 :apls:  Hello all!  I haven't been here in SOOOOOO long, but have thought of you all often.  I have much to tell, but little time right now.  I am living in Virginia now with my Sister and just got here Friday.  I started a new Vet Tech job yesterday at a local clinic, that actually operates 3 clinics.  There are 11 veterinarians and 75 employees total in the 3 clinics.  The owner has been practicing for 37 years and began the main clinic in 1974.  As you may have guessed I am single now, but I still have 2 furbabies.  Rascal, which you will remember, as he was just a pup when I was writing before.  He is 5 years old now, if you can believe that!  I also have Kissee, who is 2 now.  She was a rescue pup that had to have a hernia surgery at the tender age of 5 weeks old.  She is thriving and the biggest brat you ever did see!  I am getting ready for work now, so I will check in again tomorrow.  Great to see so many of you still writing here.  I love the changes!   :meme:

Hi Trish, glad to have you back.  I am glad Rascal is doing fine and I still have the picture of  him being Super Puppy that I look at every so often.  The new job sounds great and best of luck.
