Keeps them busy for a long time!

Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Well, I just called my doctor to get some refills on prescriptions and they have a new policy: patients call the pharmacy and the pharmacy calls the Clinic. I called the Pharmacy and got a machine that wanted me to enter numbers which I don't have because my meds are all at home.
So, annoying.

Yeah--Mac was a spaniel mix so that tenacity wasn't quite there.

sumi - that is how my pharmacy/doctors office works also. Once I got in the routine it has been pretty smooth. I hope you experience the same once you are home with the numbers you need.

We will put kibble in the Kong, and seal it with probably what amounts to no more than a generous tablespoon of peanut butter, then freeze it before giving it to her. The freezing aspect slows her down, but there isn't enough peanut butter to make her sick.
That would be my recommendation too. Taking a portion of the regular kibble meal for this purpose.
There are super-primo tough Kong's (the black ones) available for the heavy-duty chewers among us.
JZ, thanks so much for pointing me to that LJ post. It is everything you said and more.
I tend to shy away from the ironic 'here's what not to do' type of advice, but this piece was written so cleverly and comprehensively. I love it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The default at my pharmacy (CVS) is to ask for the numbers, but their automated system hates the frequency with which I renew. It won't put through a refill request unless insurance covers it. So I always skip to a person and never use the numbers.

So, I contracted a uti over the weekend, which filled me with woe. I am so OVER being sick...and having to deal with the consequences of it.
Today's adventure turned out just fine. A friend pointed me to the CVS Minute Clinic (what a lovely invention!). I was first in line today, had a really nice encounter with the doc (older woman from TX with a great sense of purpose) and was in and out in an hour. Less than $100, including drugs.
Thank you to all the powers that thought this option up!

That's the exact Kong I got. Kato doesn't destroy his toys, but he can chew through a rawhide at the speed of light, so I figured the MegaKong would be the best bet.
I just put about a teaspoon of peanut butter in the Kong and froze it and gave it to Kato when we left for work. May do the kibble-plus-PB tomorrow.
