[nagdu] dogs and peanut butter

[Craig Heaps]

When I was working, Chase and I had a peanut butter routine.

When I prepared to leave at the end of the day, I would go to the kitchen in 
the office and fill Chase's kong with peanut butter.  I would put it in a 
plastic bag in the freezer.  Then, when we came in in the morning, I would 
go down to the kitchen and get the frozen peanut butter kong.  Chase would 
be sitting, tethered to my desk, waiting.

I would put the kong on the floor within his reach and make him wait until I 
told him it was okay to get it.  He would take the kong onto his bed and 
make happy dog noiseds for about twenty minutes After that, the peanut 
butter would be gone and the kong would be clean as a whistle.

I never saw any indication the peanut butter hurt him.  It doesn have a lot 
of fat calories and if your dog is prone to get overweight, I would think 
you might want to either cut down on other food or limit the peanut butter 
so the dog doesn't get fat eating peanut butter.

Craig and Chase, who can smell the peanut butter jar open from a hundred 
yards away
