Life with dogs

ksmithThe marital aids arrived today. I bought the "wolf" size (5-6 inches) for Gaby, and the "souper" size (7-8 inches) for King. Unpacked them both at the same time, and gave the smaller one to Gaby. Tried to give the smaller one to Gaby. She looked at it, then fixed on larger one. Damned thing weighs as much as she does, but I gave it to her. She lying on the floor with it and barking in between chews.
King took the smaller one quite happily. Guess size doesn't matter anymore to the old guy.
Oh wait--now they just traded. King is chewing on the Souper. Gaby has the Wolf, and is still barking. She's trying to figure out a way to get both bones. She is a greedy little thing.
It is a good sign that she's chewing, because she turned down lunch--chewing a bone means she isn't nauseated. Granted, she ate breakfast four hours ago, and had just come in from outside and it is a hot one today, 85F in the shade. Gaby does not like the heat at all, and it will affect some dogs' appetites. As long as she stays bouncy and doesn't upchuck or anything, I won't worry. Much.
About those bones...there was a lot of claptrap on the package about Galileo's calculations of stress on bones and how these folks took his methods to heart when they designed this chew toy. Nah. Someone at the toy company was just playing Silly Buggers. They must have laughed for a week.
