little dog vs. big bone

Remember our favorite little puppy, Beau? He's still sleeping on beds, but I have to tell you another story about this adorable little mutt.

Beau likes to chew on EVERYTHING and he chews it to a pulp. Give him a tennis ball and an hour later, all the threads will be off and it will also probably be flat. Give him one of those rope thingys from the pet store and an hour later there will be remnants of it hanging from his mouth. Even when we go to the pet store and ask for an indestructible chew toy for a large dog, Beau will conquer the indestructibility after three hours or so.

Louise and I like to give Beau chew treats, something that he can chew on and be able to eat it without the fear that he's swallowing some non-digestible stuff (like nylon cords). Every so often, we'll get him some pig ears to chew on, or I get him one of these mighty bones, and it'll keep him busy for at least an hour.

Well, Louise decided to give him this giant hunker of a rawhide bone hoping that he'll spend the next month chewing on it instead of chewing on our socks.

I believe Beau has finally met his match. He was very intimidated by the size of the bone, and wasn't sure what to do with it. He kept carrying it from one end of the house to the other, all the while leaning to one side as he's walking because the bone was so damn big. It made for some funny entertainment watching him carry the giant bone.

I haven't seen him since last week, and The Boy and I are about to visit his mother for the weekend. So I'll have to report again and let you know if Beau has made any progress on this massive chew toy.
