Last Christmas a volunteer brought several large pans of shredded turkey. I was overjoyed to mix it into our guys' kibble for a couple of days. The key, I think, is moderation: cleanup really wasn't so bad!<br />By the way, our shelter is appr. 200 dogs and about 80% Pittie at any given time. Will you be offering a Pit Ed Camp in the near future?

Wet the kibble for a couple of hours, crumble in some chicken jerky, add a can of canned dog food, stuff in kongs, top with a biscuit, then freeze the whole thing to make it last longer. Voila!

Try this:<br /><br />http://westwoodanimalhospital.com/BhvArticles/kong_stuffing.htm<br /><br />We have volunteers who regularly stuff kongs and freeze them. We also have kids do this at birthday parties in our community room. Remember, if you use peanut butter to close the end, not all dogs like PB so do some with cream cheese. And yes, there will be a dirth of staff and volunteers in the shelters on turkey day, so go brighten someone's day. I will try to get by to see the baying huskies.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304293013670093540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-31647449910065556362009-11-25T09:13:29.614-08:002009-11-25T09:13:29.614-08:00Great idea to send perks for the kennel worker too...Great idea to send perks for the kennel worker too, Leslie!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881171300084907158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-89808966707765887202009-11-25T09:00:30.190-08:002009-11-25T09:00:30.190-08:00I would also bring a little something special for ...I would also bring a little something special for the S@#t shoveling kennel worker too! I personally have a kong program going at our local a/c and humane society. I bought 2 used freezer to store them in so they have them stockpiled. It has been an amazing program as the kennels are so much quieter. I stuff them with wet dog food and yogurt and maybe a handful of kibble that I have laying around.

If the food you stuff with is too rich (eg turkey), your kennel worker will be cursing you for the diarrhea that will come several hours later. I saw this at one shelter where I have volunteered. <br /><br />Stick with Sweet potatoes and you don't need alot to have it be fun. But I would not do stuffing or turkey. <br /><br />What shelters need, more than anything else, are more people to walk and socialize...that is what is truly priceless.<br /><br />DinaThe Foster Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010815003205256117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-37713604721895619752009-11-25T03:38:38.378-08:002009-11-25T03:38:38.378-08:00What a great idea!

We toss them to the pooches and they're in heaven! It's a treat that lasts for hours and adds a little enrichment to their day.<br /><br />http://rescuek9.blogspot.com/pibblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11420878751922413807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-28768336057151713102009-11-24T23:41:39.177-08:002009-11-24T23:41:39.177-08:00what a lovely idea. and i just happen to have an o...what a lovely idea. and i just happen to have an old kong laying around that i just cleaned up and will be stuffing and getting to the shelter.leighanoreply@blogger.com
