We started the habit of feeding "dessert" when we had Tonka. He knew that when he cleaned his bowl, he went over to the counter where the biscuit jar was, and we'd say, "Ready for dessert?" We do the same thing with Ruby, although she doesn't go over near the jar. She just stays sitting near her bowl with an expectant look on her face!
I gave her her first "Frozen Kong Parfait" the other day and she loved it. It had banana, PB, kibble, cottage cheese, and some plain chicken breast pieces in it. She spent close to 45 minutes working on it -- I had to resist helping her get some of the food out because it seemed impossible for her to dislodge that frozen clump with only her tongue. But she did it!
We have an Everlasting Fun Ball, which she loves. The only thing is it rolls all over the great room, and sometimes kibble rolls out and goes under things, which means she knocks stuff over trying to get to it. Pieces have nearly rolled down the heat vents, too, but it's a great toy!
