I just wanted to post a warning to people.... tonight we came home to half of a kong missing. Gracie had eaten the top portion of the BLACK kong toy! It was suggested to us to give her as a way to reduce the separation anxiety that we are dealing with. We have been giving her a rotation of 3 different sized Kongs for months and somehow she was able to break apart and swallow one today. I know a lot of other people do this too.

I just want to post a warning to think twice before letting yours have it while you are gone. After hours in the ER vet tonight and now a waiting game to make sure the rest comes out naturally.... Gracie will NEVER get another Kong!! Believe me as I try to comfort Gracie and with a $500 vet bill and possibly more to come... you do not want to put your yorkie through this!
