D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

[weofodthignen]

We were at Petco on Saturday buying dogfood, but forgot to buy chewie bones for treats. After we got back from the supermarket, the dog was sitting and politely requesting a treat, so the housemate gave her one of the two non-edible chews we'd bought back when we didn't know what she liked: a small fake branch, wood-scented and with some wood in it. She carried it off into a corner of the living room and started working on it with fierce concentration. After fifteen or twenty minutes, she'd visibly damaged it and splinters were starting to stick out. The housemate made an emergency trip back to Petco for an edible chewie bone. We had no idea; this is a soft-mouthed, timid dog.
