New Beginnings

Toby’s been gone a month now, so I decided it was time to try some new things.

We went over to see my furiends Macy & Toby II and there were some well chewed-on beef rib bones lying around from their dinner. There wasn’t much left of them, but they seemed enticing. Actually, downright flavorful and so enticing that I even turned down a bully stick (I had my heart set on chewing one of those bones). So, I traded Toby II my bully stick for one of his beef bones.

Mom brought a fresh one home and gave it to me for dinner. Mind you, I don’t eat raw very often. I’m a bit picky about my food, you see. I do love marrow bones, but this was something new.

I do WHAT with this?

Mom said it was raw meat. It seems I had no idea what to do with something that smelled like that, but I had to figure it out all by myself now. I can’t go hide under the desk when Mom brings out something new and wait for Toby to show me the way. I know I can do it…Toby taught me a lot.

So, Mom cut off some juicy parts and they tasted pretty good! I think I get it, Mom!Except I woke up early, early the next morning with a tummy-ache and I then threw up. I think I’ll stick to the occasional marrow bone….

My next foray into new things was to try Toby’s bed. I always have slept on Mom & Dad’s bed, but….why not?I sorta like it and this wasn’t scary (like that bone).

Now, at bedtime, my new thing is to start out here. On Toby’s bed.

But I still have to get up on the big bed later in the night.

I know I’ll have more adventures into trying new things. I’m just glad I had a good teacher!
