Terrier Tuesday -- Problem-Solver Edition

Dear Readers,

Yesterday Alpha gave me a marrow bone, but she took it from the freezer. Which... you know... meant it was FREEEEEEEEEZING for my mouth and my teeth. I tried to ask her to warm it up a bit for me, but she just ignored me, saying she had to get to work. (Offshore medical schools don't observe American holidays, ya know.)

So I thought and I thought, "How am I going to make this thing warm enough that I can chew on it without hurting my teeth?"

Then I remembered:  My heated bed!

 

 

I brought it there and left it for a while, until it was nice and room-temperature. And then, when it was all nice and ready, I chewed it and chewed it, and ate all the delicious organically raised beef marrow out of it.

Alpha says she is starting to get afraid of me coz I'm too smart. But why, exactly, is that news? What did she think?!

Love and beefy kisses,

Mr. Jefferies

I'm impressed that Alpha gives you bones that are that big! My crew (all 7 of them right now) only get ones that are 1" at the most and they are all almost twice as big as you!

Course, they don't care that they are frozen...they chew them as soon as take my hand away!!

Dear Mr J,
Nice! Why do they think we're not brilliant? I took my last large frozen marrow bone and buried it in a big tote bag of yarn. I snugged it in there good so it'd get warm--then, someone moved the bag onto a high shelf. I tried to warn them but they called it "too much loud barking". If they listened, I was trying to tell them finding it a month later would smell bad and ruin the bone. There was some yelling about "brand new ultra alpaca" too.....I need a heated bed. Big licks, Bobo.

Moxie is so jealous.

Mr. J!!!
Great to see you! I don't know why Alpha didn't know you would figure that out. I have found that when the motivation is right (food), Buddy and Jake always find the way. Thanks for making my day!

What a lucky Mr. J!, I once had a dog that would get a HUGE marrow bone for Christmas every year. As soon as it was in his possession he would run to the back door of our house. Once outside, he would make sure no one was watching (if you watched he would wait, or move somewhere you couldn't see him) and bury it!! We always knew that it was officially spring when he would dig it up and enjoy it!

The furry family members are smarter than we think. Aren't they?

[Vicki]

Such a smarty dog, you are!!

[Leslie]

You are such a brilliant Yorkie! I hope Alpha gives you another marrow bone shortly because you deserve it.

p.s. Please tell Alpha I'm glad she's letting you post on Tuesday even though she's rather too busy with other things to post often here.

I'm sorry, Mr. Jeffries, but my brain stopped at "offshore medical school" and got enveloped in all sorts of spy-thriller-like fantasies.

Alpha is right to be afraid. If you had opposable thumbs, you would probably rule the world.

Victor gets his marrow bones frozen and usually starts on them right away. They are his favorite treat (well, that and antlers).

Plus you enjoyed snacking in bed, right?
Oh, Bobo! o.O
