As promised, here is Darwin's new means of eating his evening batch of kibble. It took a few more days to post than I thought it would, as I have been extremely exhausted in the evenings as the result of skiing last Sunday for the first time in about 7-8 years and coming down with a cold that has slowly been eating my energy all week. But here they are!
I decided a few weeks ago that Darwin needed some more mind games in his daily routine, so I created this simple puzzle for him out of plastic, disposable tupperware-like containers. He loves it! And attempts to get the pieces apart in several different ways. Each night he gets better and better at this, so soon I will have to think of something entirely new to work his brain with.
Getting the lid off an down to the first layer with a handy nose-butt...
Sometimes throwing it works....
Dainty extraction of the final barrier layer....
Of course, he is not allowed to keep the containers after he is finished, as Mom really doesn't want to spend an exhorbitant amount at the vet's having them extract little pieces of potentially sharp plastic from his digestive tract, though Darwin expresses that he really would like to be given these containers on a more long-term basis...

Look at that smart guy go! Of course, food is the ultimate motivator for most corgis! Have you tried a Buster cube? It's a tad noisy but keeps them busy for a good long while.
