Yes...Jennifer, I do get the brother's together. It's so funny, Rufus hogs all of his toys. I do agree that they are very smart!!! He knows how to play it.
Misskate, As far as hitting, i don't. No Way!! I could never hit my little punk!!
Koran- Bully sticks are: THE BEST THINGS EVER!!! At first he barked and growled at it; but then he loved it. I just made a full meal, and he sat on the couch with it for an hour...when I came to sit down he brought it over to me and sat on my lap with it. I can't believe this.
I bought mine at a pet store...it is a small (you can get big ones) stick of dried meat. I guess it's like beef jerky; but thicker and harder. My dog has chewed a lot of it already (the girl at the store told me it would take a while...but my puppy LOVES to chew). I don't know how his stomach will react to it cause I just got it; but it will hopefully be okay.
Basically, they chew it and eventually eat it...I have only been giving it to him when I'm home. Only because I don't want him to get sick of it, and I don't want him to accidentally eat a big piece...he has eaten most of his toys!
Also-I bought the "natural" cow flavored one. I figured if it's natural it will be better for his stomach. I would try that...they are pretty inexpensive and TOTALLY worth it!!
oh- people said it smells; but even the cow one I bought does not smell...maybe cause it's small. So far so good
