Rowdy thinks he's king of the kongs!

A kong is a little rubber toy (the thing between his paws) and it has a little hole in it that you can put a puppy treat in. Rowdy loves his kong...as long as it is stuffed with a puppy treat. No puppy treat and he just ignores it. If the kong is loaded with a puppy treat then it is like a doggy pacifier...he will lick at it, bounce it and even resort to tossing it down a flight of stairs to get the treat out.

Rebel on the other hand is not so serious about the kong...he will run and chase it just becasue it bounces....treat or no treat. He gets excited when there's a treat in it but he does not get obsessed with it.

We have two kongs...yesterday I gave one to each dog before I went to do my work out at the club. Rebel had his in his dog cage with him and Rowdy was in a sunbeam on the floor working on his. When I returned Rebels kong was stuffed under a blanket in the corner of his puppy cage...with treat intact. Rowdy's kong was empty so when I let Rebel out to play Rowdy thought he would go get Rebel's kong. I told Rowdy to leave it alone. Later when Megan and I were going off to her dance class we put Rebel back in his cage. This really upset Rowdy because he still wanted the kong...he even growled at Rebel. This was kind of funny because Rebel had no clue what Rowdy was so upset about. I was a bit annoyed with Rowdy but I did put another treat in his kong so that he would leave Rebel alone while we were out.

So that is the story of King Kong!
