Chewing on a Saturday Afternoon

The last few times we have been to Publix to get knucklebones for the pugs they have been out.  This hasn’t gone over with the pugs very well.  Then I remembered that there was a new shop at the farmer’s market that had knucklebones when we were there late last year.  So on Saturday, we went to farmer’s market and got lots of fruits, veggies & knucklebones.  Turns out that the knucklebones were buy 5 get one free, so of course we went for the deal to have a few extras stashed away.  The knucklebones at Publix are nice, but the knucklebones from the farmer’s market were huge!  Needless to say the pugs were delighted!

We always get a bone for Sol, but she generally never chews it.  Instead, she vacuums up all the little pieces that the other three leave on their towels.  But, Saturday, Sol was ready to tackle her very own knucklebone.  She worked so hard chewing on that bone that she had to stop and take a nap!  Which worked out good because it was time to put the bones away for the night.  Benjamin would chew on them forever and I don’t like the pugs to get too much of a good thing in one day.  I imagine all that “yummy stuff” they pull off the new bones could really wreak havoc on the digestive system.

Here are some pics of the others going to town chewing.
