Bones

      Since I'm so busy, I'm usually never home. So, when I get a chance to see Fat Boy, I only see him when I'm leaving the house or coming home. This time I saw him, laying outside chewing on something, as I was leaving the house. I knew I wasn't going to be back until it was late so I decided to observe him right then and there, while he was active. I walked over to him, trying to be stealthy. Although I knew he saw me, but he was way too interested in what he was chewing on, to do anything. From a far, what he was chewing on kind of looked like the middle of a corn on a cob, the cob. As I walked closer to him I noticed it was just a bone. The bone itself looked really weird. It was brown and looked damp. Although that could be just because of the dirt and his saliva.

      I remembered one day in anatomy my teacher was teaching us about bones. He said, "If a dog chews on a bone from the middle he isn't that intelligent. But, if he chews on the epiphyseal ends, the two sides of the bone, he is intelligent." Dogs chew on the sides of the bone only because they want the red marrow on the inside of the bone, the middle. Fat Boy was chewing on the sides of the bone! So I guess you could say he's kind of intelligent. I really knew he just wanted the red marrow on the inside of the bone. 

Usually , Fat Boy is super energetic but when he had the bone that's all he was focusing on. He was laying there when my cousin walked by and he didn't get up to bark at her once. He just kept on digging for that red marrow. My family loved the fact that he was clam when he had a bone so we decided to give him one every once in a while. So all in all, I related that one day in anatomy when I learned about bones to when I saw Fat Boy chewing on one.
