The Kneecap Rule!

We have had to be very cautious with giving Ray chew toys because not only does he destroy them, but he is also a “gulper” (he does not chew). We had an incident with a “heavy duty” animal bone which he proceeded to break into sharp fragments! We took it away from him before he attempted to swallow a piece! Continue reading

A Hard Lesson!
