    I buy 12 inch 'sticks, thick ones, and then toss the last 2 inches to prevent the 3 am barf. My guys are older and the sticks last for several days. They would be too expensive if they ate them in an hour!

    :D Wizard your mention of Gossy hiding food made me laugh. We lost Benji in Feb and the other day i was cleaning behind the cushions on the leather settee, and yes i dont do it very often :D Theres more to life than doing that :D Anyway i found ?4.31, a lighter, a mobile phone and loads and loads od dog biscuits that Benji had hid, it was a bitter sweet moment. He also once hid a smelly old bone under my husbands pillow :D

    I buy in bulk from Bullysticksonline.com, you have to buy a lot at one time but the price is good and the quality is excellent (no odor). If you can share an order with a friend or two it isn't too bad, winds up being about $3.50 for a "deluxe" 12 inch stick. I used to cut them in half, but now I leave them whole, as I take away the last inch or two, I realized I was wasting some. I buy a box about once a year, and give them out every week or so. Anne

    @YodelDogs: Raw soup bones from the grocery store. I have the "butcher" cut them into 1 1/2 inch lengths so they are too large to crack open and small enough for the dog to get all the marrow out. After they have been licked and chewed up and are smelling "funky", I boil them which sterilizes them. They can then be kept "forever". Mine also lone the hard Nylabones, preferably the dinosaur shaped ones. The poor things get decapitated rather quickly though. :p Too funny! These two things, soup bones and dino bones, are the only things that my two B's LOVE! I would also add the Galileo bone made by Nylabones is super sturdy too. :)

    They are funny little dogs. When my boyfriend and I are messing around Alani will do a really loud short Baroo to him. She's always on my side it's awsome.

    @tanza: Hoofs can also cause slab fractures of the teeth, so be careful… and there is nothing worse then getting up in the middle of the night and stepping on a well chewed hoof.... NOT I've stepped on one of those and danced around a little.:eek:
