Jack and the Kong

This is a Kong, a nearly indestructible hollow rubber dog toy that can be filled with treats, like peanut butter.

A loaded Kong can keep a dog happy and busy for several minutes.

Maria got the jar of dog peanut butter out of the cabinet this morning and loaded one for Jack.

Jack apparently was paying attention and understood the process because once he had licked the inside of the Kong clean, he strolled back into the kitchen and, Kong in mouth, put his front paws on the counter where the peanut butter had been and looked around for the jar, presumably hoping for a refill.

Of course, he got one.

Good dog, Jack.
