She was given a milk bone at daycare the other day, and instead of hiding it like the edible bones, she ate it. It's something my big dogs ate growing up, too. They are awesome. Oh, and my dad would give my oldest son those bones, like a little creep. I thought canned pumpkin was a good idea, and... it was. She passed it just a little while ago. Thank you for the suggestions and the words of encouragement.
