I wheeled the cage around on on dolly keeping her near me but in the shade and safe from chewing on mulch, stones, grass, etc. I gave her a pretty decent size greenie that I thought would last for a long time, so I could not believe in one hour it was gone, and I mean 100% gone. Well she wound up with a really bad case of diarrhea that took days, vet visits, and meds to clear up. Ironically I had her in the cage to keep her from harms way, yet the greenie I gave her created havoc in her system. That was the last time she had a greenie and the last time she had bad diarrhea. Now it is a large bully stick under supervision and no more than an hour and a once a day med. size milk bone. Lucky for me she will eat milk bones because I think that is what keeps her teeth in great condition. But unfortunately most yorkies don't like milk bones, hopefully Nali and Barbi will chew one.
Callie loves milk bones but her favorite are the new chewy ones. We went to Chickfila one day to take the food home and were going through the drive thru and they gave us a huge milk bone so I let her have it when we got home and she toted it around forever and someone accidentally stepped on it so some of it broke and cracked and she seemed so upset until she tasted it and was like hey this is good and finally chewed on it.
