A Dog Without a Bone?

We've discussed this issue many times. Under the pressure from current thinking by who knows who, some dog owners who are younger and never lived on the farm or had dogs during the Lone Ranger's days of 'yesteryear', have been convinced that bone chewing is no longer a safe sport for a dog. Safe to say these folks haven't watched video footage of wolves consuming a kill! Crack those bones and suck that marrow!

Blarney is now part of the reconverted crowd. We're saving selected 'non-splintering' bones to toss his way as a distraction. He loves it and he is a very thorough bone chewer. It does for him what TV does for a human baby. Keeps him occupied instead of underfoot. We see his jaw muscles bulging by the hour like the bone is a steroid.
