Eat your heart out Petsmart!

Our Bulldog Bentley has always had trouble with eating his food. After he chows down his meal, he frequently throws it back up - gross I know! Imagine having to clean it up!?!

The other day Shane came up with a brilliant idea to build him a feeder box so he wouldn't have to bend down to eat - talk about spoiled :) When Bulldogs eat, the food will sometimes accumulates in "pockets" in the back of their throat. This will cause them to choke & up comes their food when they raise their head. We have looked all over for these at Petsmart, Petco & online but they were either not the right height, too "cheap" looking, or too expensive. So, Shane put his skills to the test and constructed one with a few cheap materials at Home Depot.


May I present to you - Bubba's feeder box:

As you can see, it is the perfect height for him as he eats! Shane even went as far as to varnish it and then later added his name to it :) So crafty that husband of mine!

I am impressed - how neat is this!! Shane should patent this and sell it on ebay to your "Bulldog" Buddies. Way to go Shane.
