Take time to stop and chew the food

Our first born is a handy dandy dog guru and part of what he does, besides college and being a police officer, is train dogs. I can't say he's appalled when he comes home to visit and sees how we have spoiled our canine creatures, but I do think he turns the other cheek when it comes to our puppy parenting skills and appreciates the customers that actually want well behaved dogs and seek his guidance.

One thing he did do for two of our boys, that's what we call them...our boys, is give them new dog bowls. These bowls are designed to help slow down the eating process from gorging to actually chewing.

These adorable doggies turn into sharks in blood infested waters when it comes to eating. They attack their food and gobble it down like no other. Oskar our Miniature Schnauzer inhales his food without chewing and sometimes a kibble will go down the wrong pipe and he'll start coughing and hacking. Archie the Beagle drives his nose into his bowl, and like a vacuum, sucks up every last kibble.

In less than a minute, the feeding frenzy is over.

Now there's a new bowl in town specifically designed for gobblers.

                                                                   
The cones in the middle force the dog to work at eating.

  It's an excellent invention and has done wonders for our chow hounds.

Gee if they could only invent one for humans, as I could have used one during Thanksgiving dinner.
 As a result or lack there of, I ended up going home looking like this:

Hope all of you had a happy and fulfilling Thanksgiving!
