I like to fill the dogs marrow bones with peanut butter in the morning to keep them busy while I am having breakfast. I keep the peanut butter in the refrigerator, so that it is harder, and knife it into both sides of the bone. This keeps them busy for about 10 minutes if I am lucky. I like to watch the creative ways they try to get the peanut butter out of the holes. I have tried many other things in the bones: expensive Kong filler stuff (blah! and not much for the price), Cheese Wiz (to many chemicals and sugar and salt – I realized that I wouldn’t eat it, so why would I give it to them). whipped cream (it disappeared into the air), processed cheese pressed in to the hole (really hard to do and harder for them to get out (actually almost impossible for Sofie)). In the end, there is nothing that replaces good old peanut butter. They sure do enjoy those peanut butter bones.
Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

Peanut butter is a yummy snack! Mom also bought me peanut butter flavored toothpaste, so I am a good girl when she brushes my teeth.
Love and peanut butter licks,

My Henry loves peanut butter, so I too keep a jar in the fridge. I use the stuff for when I have to give him medication, wrapping the pill inside a teaspoon of PB. He devours them, not realizing he’s swallowed the pill, too.

I do that too, but Lulu has figured out, after months, that the Omega fishy pill is in there, so Sofie gets it with peanut butter and Lulu with a dog food meatball.

Not many days go by we don’t eat it. We buy it in the biggest jar we can find. 🙂

Dogs do love peanut butter and I love to watch their tongues going trying to get it 🙂

I had a post on tasty Tuesday about what I put in the marrow bones. I like pumpkin and yogurt because it has less calories than peanut butter. (I have to watch their waistlines.) 🙂

How do you get the insides hard? Do you freeze them?
