How much is too much, with bones though? I was just thinking of this this afternoon. My guy Olly gets a lamb offcut with tea everynight, he might get two or three bones a week - not huge ones, probably the size of half a palm - that's ok right? The way this guy poops, if I block him up he'll explode in 24 hours ;)

Rawhide is the only thing that's getting me through teething ATM. Olly gets both bones and rawhide, most in here will tell you it's a no no but I've never had issues with it and all my three chew it. In fact Olly is carrying around a particularly dirty piece ATM that's starting to get floppy

My understanding has always been that dogs eat poo because they can't (some can't?) digest protein as well as we can, and they can digest it much m ore successfully if another animal has partially digested it already. My theory is - they eat it 'cause they're yucky and they LIKE IT. Eeeeewies. My lot eat..chook, cat, possum, rabbit and wallaby poo. Not their own though. Thankfully!!!

My Kel's is a collie girlie and hounds me all damn day with toys... outside to throw her squeaky balls and things, inside to play tug of war with her toys, throw them, just beat her up with 'em, she wont quit... I think there's a happy medium between yours and mine somewhere

Gosh I wish I had that prob with my collie :D She wont leave me alone with her toys... she's a big fan of noisy toys with bells and squeaks but she's also blind which might answer that one Do you have any doggy friends? Maybe if she had some competition with chasing toys, like tennis balls and things, she might be a little more inclined to beat the other dog to getting it? And then realise how much fun it is?
