    Joey's Gotcha Day!

    It's been a year! WOW, is all I can say! I cannot imagine my life without him, he's been great and I'm looking forward to many many more!!!
    We spent all day together and went to lots of fun places, took naps, got good raw bones.... and I spent all of last night sowing up "old" stuffies that died a horrible death months ago. He was SO HAPPY to have his duck back! He took a nap with it while holding it in his mouth [:)]!
     
    This is a picture of him the day we brought him home... it's a different duck but they are the same size, it's amazing how much they grow!!!

    I thought this one was funny... he likes to lay in the sun and today I obviously wasn't fast enough for him so he had to let the sun in himself [:D]

    One last one, I promise!
    He is sooo WEIRD! I got him his first raw marrow bone today, all they had were cut up pieces so I scraped some of the marrow out and let him eat it first.... then I put the bone in his bowl.
    This is what he's been doing for the past hour.... actually now he's laying in front of it?!?!?
    How do I get him to eat it?

    Happy late gotch day, Joey!! It doesn't seem possiable a year has gone by and your puppy is now a 1yr old.

    Thank you everybody [:D]! Isn't it crazy how fast they grow up???
    I still want to introduce him as a puppy but he's a big boy now [;)]
     
    BTW, we're STILL starring at the bone!!! What on earth is wrong with my dog? I left it out for him for 2 hours every night (it goes in the fridge afterwards, not sure if it needs to but just to be safe) and all he does it stare at it. It's almost like he's afraid of it but doesn't want to leave it alone, he'll lay in front of it and nap but he will NOT chew on it!
    I'd really like him to because I want to keep his teeth nice and clean.
    Any suggestions or do some dogs just not like raw bones? [&:]

    I would worry about it sitting at room temperature for that long.  I don't feed any raw bones because I worry about bacteria and parasites.  But, if I did, I would not leave it out.  Raw meat can spoil very quickly.  Maybe someone who feeds raw will have more advice.  Happy Gotcha Day!
