How do you make a little dog happy?

I can tell you how to make a little dog happy....
Give it a bone. A big, juicy ham bone.

We just bought three of these things at the grocery store.... They looked so good I had to think twice before giving them to the dogs.

But... I like making dogs happy.
So... one to Tigger, the 110 pound lab.... and we can now power the house by attaching a generator to his tail. Another to Cinder, who's photo I managed to take for the first time, the other day, by baiting her with a plate of gravy.
The bone is about half Cinders size, and she manged maybe three steps backwards with it before crashing to her side. From there, she chomped into her prize and proceeded to pull it behind her all the way to her boys room, where she ended up under his desk.

The last one went to queen Daisy. She dragged hers backwards to the stairs, headed for sanctuary (our bedroom). She made it half way up the stairs...
Bump..... Bump..... Bump.....Bump.... before I caught up and carried the bone the rest of the way for her. Getting to our bedroom, she is no where to be found.

So..... I set the bone on the floor and watched. Within seconds, she darted/crawled from under our ratty old recliner and dragged the bone back with her, looking for all the world like one of those old coin banks whose hand reached up and grabbed a coin placed in the slot.

I haven't seen any of the dogs for an hour.

He he..... cheap fun.
