It's not that the pack gets bored, I try and be proactive and prevent the boredom. That's what I meant.

They tend to swap several times while chewing:) I've always thought the first thing I would get if I was a super rich person was an indoor dog park...or maybe a retractable roof for the yard...something like that!My Two Pittieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526624777044038820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7469835689360801078.post-72684196328819563652013-02-01T09:13:23.956-05:002013-02-01T09:13:23.956-05:00Having just suffered through a day of bored blind ...Having just suffered through a day of bored blind dog, I can SO relate. I used to give Ray the frozen marrow bones to keep him occupied, but at some point he decided that he liked the rawhides better. But everything is cyclical so I might try them again with him. Those bones used to keep him busy for HOURS and I considered them God's Gift to Blind Dog Owners. <br />I can't even imagine seven bored dogs. I was thinking if he had another dog to keep him busy he wouldn't get bored but it looks like that isn't exactly the case. Thanks for the info. Now I don't feel as bad knowing that he can't have another dog.

We've never had any problems with the bones breaking or splintering, they just seem to wear down. One thing to watch for is the size of the inside where the marrow is. It is possible for a dog to get the bone stuck on their jaw if the center of the bone is big enough. This happened to a friend's German Shepherd and they had to take her to the vet to get it off! So I always look for smallish ones with not too big of a center.<br /><br />As for the harness, I was just curious that's all. With the exception of when Hiker first arrived, I've never used a harness. Hiker used one on rough trails so she'd be safer but I quickly realized that she didn't need the assistance and somehow (I am still amazed every time) she navigates rough trails without any difficulty. I do know that some dogs have injured their neck/throat from collars. acd6packhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377057535245112797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7469835689360801078.post-14305804281060134952013-01-31T19:16:30.287-05:002013-01-31T19:16:30.287-05:00Oh come on now - we Canadians are tough!

I've thought of giving bones to Blueberry, but I worry about her eating the actual bone.<br /><br />To answer your question - the harness is because on those occasions when B loses her mind when she sees a bunny - she pulls on the leash and I am worried about her injuring her neck. As someone with a jacked up neck - I am sensitive to the injuries that can occur and just feel a harness is the smarter choice. Your thoughts on that?

There is a lot of "stealing" when they are given bones/hooves/antlers though. But they are all pretty good natured about it. Ryder is the one to suffer the worst of the thievery. He'll then come to me, to cry about it, until I go rescue his chewie. :)Collie222https://www.blogger.com/profile/03885140752873789359noreply@blogger.com
