Keeping Ruby Quiet When We're Out...

... Is a nightmare! She likes to chew, and unfortunately, we have carpets everywhere! She also likes to 'punish' us when we go out by messing in the house. This has led to us having to shut all the doors so she only has access to our (rather large) hallway when we leave.
Poor baby, she gets so bored! And she howls!
My dad, however, came up with a brilliant idea! He bought a 'Kong' toy from his local pet shop, a jar of peanut butter, and various sandwich spreads, including chicken and salmon. Luckily, Sam is allergic to peanuts, and neither of us will eat sandwich fillers!
You only need a small amount of whichever spreadable delight, and a few dog biscuit treats, all squeezed as deeply into the toy as possible, and a freezer!
The result, a cheap distraction, that makes a happy break from a bone, or large biscuit treat, which when frozen, takes a good two hours of gnawing and chewing to break in to, without damaging the toy as this is pretty much what they are designed for!
Obviously, this cannot be given too often, or with too much filling as it can be very bad for dogs when given in excess. But, Ruby loves it, and once a week, it becomes her favourite treat!
