Lunch from a Kong

Kong's are actually designed for wet food, the dog is supposed to lick all the food out, but Pickles tongue isn't quite long enough for that yet, and he likes a more engaging meal.  So we fill his Kong with kibble and put it on the wood floor.  When he rolls it with his paw it makes a great rattling noise so he knows there's something in there.  If he rolls it hard enough kibble comes out and makes a delicious sound as it hits the wood floor.  This helps him know he was successful and that he should find the food that fell out.  When it gets down to the last couple pieces he has to work really hard to get them to come out over the lip of the Kong.  Usually, we can keep him occupied for about 15 minutes eating this way.
