I got Nicki some new bones last week. The one I gave her last night seemed to almost shatter. Instead of softening up and becoming gummy like all of her other bones, this one almost broke into pieces like.. well, I don't know. There are small pieces all over the carpet that are hard and sharp. I of course took the bone away from her (to her disappointment) and trashed the rest from that bag. I've bought this brand before and have always been happy with the quality.

Is it possible that the bone was old? Why would it do that? It was scary because she could have choked or cut her throat. Anybody else experience this?
