[nagdu] Food puzzle

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Debby.
A food puzzle is a kind of dog toy.  You put kibble inside it, and the dog 
has to figure out how to get the food out.  I think they were invented to 
entertain dogs who otherwise don't have much to do.
I bought one called the Fun Ball.  It's a big, softball-sized rubber ball 
with little holes in it.  I stick kibble through the holes, then Ben has to 
roll it around and use his paws and tongue to get the kibble to fall out 
through the little holes.  It takes a lot of work for him.
Mom had a similar thing that was a big hard plastic cube the dogs had to 
roll around to get the kibble to fall out.
There are other kinds where the dog has to hit part of the puzzle with his 
paw to make the food come out, though the reviews on those on Amazon were 
pretty mixed.  Some puzzles seem to have been made for small dogs, and a big 
dog's paw hits too much, or breaks the thing.
