Trying to get a picture of Greta with her bone is like trying to sneak up on a deer, a fierce, territorial deer. I am not sure what kind of animal bone this is, but judging by its size and the way she anxiously guards it, I think it might be something rare and extinct like woolly mammoth, or stegosaurus. She has managed to separate what looks like a knee cap from the rest of the bone. This has been quite problematic for her because she can’t control both pieces with her mouth at the same time. She can only carry one piece and, when approached, tries desperately to drag all of her bone loot to another “safer” part of the yard where she can chew and guard her prizes undisturbed. After two weeks she is still wearing herself out chewing on this “toy” night and day and seems to be calmer physically, like all that jaw movement releases the tension in her limbs. However, another week of needless worry over getting her bone stolen just might turn her into one of the most neurotic dogs ever.
