We all went out to dinner tonight (step-dad, mom, sister & grandma) and it was a rib & steakhouse place. I specifically tell my step-dad that I don't want him feeding Jackson the left over rib bones that he brings home for their dog. He thinks I'm just too over protective and need to let him just be a dog... and this is the funny thing - I am not really overprotective at all. I am definitely one of the more lax people on this board, you can see from my posts, and Jackson DEFINITELY gets allowed to be a dog, lol. Plus, being a bigger boy at 14lbs allows him a ton of freedom to do so many things. He's a country dog. I used to think it was fine to give a dog a rib bone but later found out how bad it was for them so I don't want to risk it! Well, when I'm not watching, what does my step-dad do... throws down two rib bones for the mutts. I'm like c'mon, dude. Ugh, it's just frustrating when someone does specifically what you asked them NOT to. He's my dog and I can set his rules! It was easy to take the bone away from Jackson 'cuz I just showed him some nice roast beef meat, lol, but still. Just thought I'd vent!
