    I'm in two minds...

    I usually get Rocket a present at Christmas, a hide bone or suchlike, but I'm under no illusions as to whether she understands or not. Clearly she doesn't. And I do wonder how it makes me come across to the rest of the academicallyinclineddogsareniceenoughbutthey'rejustdogsafterall family.

    So what should I do?

    Get her a pressie, or save my money?

    Riley will definitely get a present and so will Ben's parents black lab Monty :)

    If nothing else it'll keep them entertained while we recover from Christmas dinner.....

    Yes agree. Present is a must. A good bone to grind up will keep her off the table for a bit!

    Well that looks like it's decided then.

    Rocket will have her own pressie under the tree. Now the next dilemma is what to get her?

    Kongs, every time.

    Fill full of yummy stuff and then deep freeze. Feed as a kongsicle. Keeps them happy for ages. Or, if in a hurry, smear the inside of an empty kong with marmite or peanut butter.

    :)

    I have a feeling I tried her with a king a few years ago and she didn't really understand what it was for. I could be thinking of my last dog the psycho springer though...

    Well it is the symbolic leader of the other peaces and can move in any direction but only one square at a time. When it is captured the game is over.

    I was picturing a classic Kid In The School Nativity style king with a paper crown...together with a confused looking Labrador!
