Silverann,

Just to let you know a similar type of thing happened to my Lab/Shep X a number of years ago. My young niece was eating a popsicle on a stick, an gave the dog the last few licks off the stick....but she swallowed the popsicle stick, whole! After a couple of anxious days I finally saw it come out the other end...still whole, it was not bent or anything! I hope this happens for you with the turkey bone too!

The kong toys are a great invebtion they are so simple but my dogs love them. I have had one for about 6 months and there is not a scratch on it. they are indistrutible(?)
I have to try some of those recipes for my dogs.

Dear Adore. Your story just broke my heart and opened some not yet healed wounds. 2 years ago Sept. I lost the "Lab of My Life" Jingles. To this day I talk to her every night. I love my "new" labbie, Star, but sometimes, as I hug and kiss her, I look at Jing's pic. on the mantle and start to cry. I pray every night that I will see her again, and all my furkids who have passed. After I lost Jing, my husky/shep Cody mourned her for almost one year. Cody was a rescue who never knew a home, love, or even how to be a doggie. Just terrible physical and emotional abuse and neglect. After she came to her "forever home," Jing took Cody by the paw and showed her how to play, bark, wolf her food, love, trust and push her humans around! She taught her how to be a "dog!!" Cody idolized her, and they were an inseparable team. After she died, I would take Cody to the beach where we all would spend hours walking, swimming, playing, loving. But now, Cody no longer wanted to walk. She would sit alone atop a dune and just look to the sky and howl like a wolf. It was unbearable for me. But at the same time, somehow strangely beautiful. That striking husky face, her gorgeous blue eyes so sad now, turned toward the heavens. And in some way, unknown to me, speaking to her best friend. She, like Graham, is better now, but not the same dog. Star is a good diversion, who Cody mostly tolerates. Even today, Cody always seems to have this look of patient anticipation on her face; a distant look in her eyes, that seems to say, "In time Jing; in time...." To all who have lost their beautiful friends, I feel for you deeply and send my love. EVERY animal lovers' loss is my loss. Truly. I know we will all see them again. Won't that be such a happy day!!!

Thanks for the king kong idea haven't heard of them but am willing to try anything now they still chew on each other fact the male Chinook is always wet around his ears and neck from Foxy I sometimes miss the small fishing village I am from where the dogs pretty much run free and wild I took Nannook there last summer he died less than two weeks after we got back he really didn't like being in a fenced yard anymore he missed running which I know he had been doing at night, I won't be taking Foxy & Chinook there we will have to settle on short trips to Homer if any of you get to Alaska look me up

LilyMarlene: I love Homer! My brother lives there and my other brother lives on Kodiak. Spent a summer in Anchorage and fell in love with the beauty.

Hannah loves her Kong. She has three of them now, and even has a favorite among them. I had to get her interested in the kong by throwing it and playing with it with her. Once she got the feel of it in her mouth and how she can kind of compress it, it became her favorite thing. It is so funny to watch her running around looking for a kong to take with her whenever it is time to go outside. It is also fun to watch her tip it and turn it to get a dog cookie out of it.

Edited by Karen (Moderator) - it is not smart to ever post your address in a public forum, even a friendly one! Lily, I deleted your address from here, but sent it in an email - much more private - to Karen Israel. Sorry, we try hard not to be obstrusive, but we want to keep everyone (human, furry and feathered) safe!

The Kong toys are great and were suggested to us by our trainer at puppy class - who also works at the local humane society. They are indestructable and keep our 6 month old puppy occupied for hours!! She is chewing vigorously to get the last of her puppy teeth out. She will even play with these if they are empty. I have also met folks in the park who are running their dogs who throw these to fetch without any food in them. Just became a member - but belated regrets about your awful loss - I have removed any rawhide from our home - thank you!! And enjoy your new babies - you sure are courageous to take on two puppies at once - what fun - but also, what a lot of work!!

[LilyMarlene]

Hello all hope everyone's holidays are going ok got a question Foxy is really bullying Chinook when it comes to food she is driving me crazy it is getting to the point where Chinook won't eat until she is done I have started bringing him inside so I know he is eating I put down two dishes filled with the same food and she tries going from one to the other if he tries to eat she goes after him any ideas on how to stop this I know she is a little jealous of him but this is getting crazy

Shaianne seems to like the chew hooves(cow hooves). I watch and make sure they don't get to sharp but she really likes them.
