Bone Heaven!

Like Tamara's group of canines, my gang is also enjoying an onslaught of moose bones. It must be fall, the dogs say, it's moose meat time!! Yippeee! And I'm not kidding or exaggerating about their excitement - I was getting knocked over by Kuna's wiggly butt as he could not stand still when he saw the truck full of meat and bones.

I thought it would be a cool shot to show all the meat and bones in the truck as I brought them home...

But it ended up looking pretty disgusting.

Anyways, this carnivore's dream was given to us by a couple neighbours (Pete and Mary) and someone from work (Teresa) - thanks for thinking of us!

These guys made me laugh my arse off when I opened up the tailgate. They were bouncing around, wanting to jump in that truck SOOOO badly, but they were all very well behaved.


And Kuna was the happiest dog in the world at that moment. This dog is SO food driven it's unbelievable. You know when you can tell that a dog is just giddy with excitement? Well, he would run to me, and back to the truck, let out this silly bark, and come bouncing back to me. This is him bouncing INTO me as I was trying to take some photos!

Ripper - pre-sock-in-gut:

It's interesting watching how each dog approaches a bone. Yes, it's really a study in canine behaviour. That, or boredom on my part.

Sage getting down to business.

"Mmm... that's good scapula!"

Ivy has a dainty approach. Ironic, considering she practically rips the smaller bones and fish out of my hand, not caring whether she has a finger in there or not.

"Hmph! No finger! I'll be gentle then..."

Rupert STILL working on that bone for some reason. Ok, it's massive. Massively funny!!!

"I'd like a bigger bone please!" (he's polite like that)

Kate doesn't hold back

"C'mon, I dare one of ya to try and steal it from me!! C'mon!!! DOUBLE dare!"
(she likes to mix things up)

I like George's method - butt up in the air helps...

"Must. get. leverage. Oof!"

Then it gets tiring

"Gee, all this gnawing is somewhat tiresome"

Teamwork!

Gabe: "Um, excuse me Jack, can I assist you in cleaning the meat off that bone?"
Jack: "Why, yes Gabe! There's enough meat on here for both of us. I could use the help"
Gabe: "Thanks Jack. I always knew you were one of the nice ones"

And THAT is an example of a rarely heard conversation between my dogs.
