"B" is for Bone

 After baking in the sun this morning Julep and

Derby retreated into the house in search

of the a/c vents.  I don't allow them to be outside

on the deck for more than 20 minutes at a time. 

 Derby ... coolin' down.

 Once J&D 'cooled down' and got their

energy back I gave them a treat.  A nice

cold marrow bone for their chewing pleasure.

 Of course Derby heads right to our light colored

living room rug to taste & inspect.

My Mommy Katie is the best! 

On the road again ... or is it ... on the move again? 

Julep took her bone upstairs. 

She's searching for a place to keep it safe.  I think

it's in their nature to try and hide it first, then

they settled down to start working on getting the marrow out.  

 Even the smallest of small bones are still a 

mouth-full for Derby.

 Hey Mommy Katie ... I take issue with that wise

crack about my small mouth.

Julep came back downstairs with bone in mouth.

Thank goodness ...  I really wasn't in the mood to play find

Julep's raw bone.  The westies don't get raw bones often.

 The marrow tends to be a little rich for their tummies

 ... but they're good to keep on hand when the days are

hot or it's raining.  The bones keep them busy

... and a busy westie is a happy westie.
