Dog
bones make great treats for your pet plus they help keep your dogs
teeth clean. You can even buy some that are shaped like a tooth brush.
There are special dental bones designed specifically for keeping teeth
and gums healthy. They also come in a variety flavors.. Chicken beef,
fish, chocolate, you name it. I recently visited the pet store and found
a buffet of dog treats. In addition to dog bones, they had dog cookies.
These dog treats looked good enough to eat myself, especially the
chocolate chip looking ones.
Dog bones come in various sizes. You
can make a funny drawing by drawing a small dog with a very big bone in
his mouth or a really big dog with a tiny bone.
Dogs have a
natural desire to chew on things and dog bones help to satisfy that
desire. It gives your dog something safe to chew on other than your
Dad's favorite shoes or your favorite toy superhero.
My neighbor
has a puppy named Conrad. Conrad loves to chew on things. He comes over
to our house and takes things. My kids have already lost a couple of
shoes. Conrad took a broom and a mop from our back porch and even ran
off with a postal package. It contained my wife's new swimsuit.
Unfortunately it had a few extra holes in it thanks to Conrad's dog gone
chewing habit. Fortunately Conrad's owner is a nice man and he offered
to pay for a new swim suit and despite his bad habits we like Conrad
very much because he is a happy and funny dog. That dog needs some dog bones to chew on!
