Abstract: An animal feeder assembly provides food and water at an elevated position from a support surface and is therefore particularly suited for feeding large dogs in a manner which avoids digestive and posture problems associated with feeding such animals from containers positioned at the level of the support surface. The feeder assembly comprises a feeder tray and a plurality of hollow legs releasably attached to the feeder tray. Each of the hollow legs are capable of holding ballast material such as sand or water for lowering the center of gravity of the assembly relative to the support surface, thereby enhancing the stability of the assembly and inhibiting the animal form transporting the feeder assembly from the preferred feeding location. The tray and legs are preferably made of blow molded plastic and the tray is formed to include a closed interior cavity, each of which facilitates cleaning the assembly.

Abstract: A fishing rod and reel assembly having an anchor for securing the assembly against loss. The anchor comprises an anchor body attached to the rod and reel and connecting structure detachably connected to the body. The body comprises a body portion extending between the reel and the rod, body portion movement limiting structure for engaging the rod and reel to prevent separation of the anchor body from the assembly, and end structure detachably connected to the conecting structure. The connecting structure comprises a tether having quick disconnecting spring-clip connectors at its ends.
