Browniemiss, This group is All-Poo-friendly. Who says you've got to go find another group? I suspect that if you try to find another group that cares about your Poo and you the way we do, you'll be looking for a very long time.
Now, that we've taken care of that little problem - let's get back to the Kong. You can stuff that Knog with anything and everything you can think of. Lots of people put the dry dog food in it mixed with peanut butter or other things. There's a few on the Knog website: http://www.kongcompany.com/worlds_best.html But there a tons of people's favorite stuffing ideas all over the internet. I used to have the sites in my Favorites but I got a new computer, so I'll have to look for it again. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "browniemiss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Silly me!
