Rawhiiiiiiiiiide!

My friend Rachel and her girls gave Oliver a rawhide bone during their recent visit to Flori-duh. Oliver has never quite grasped rawhide. I would hold it out for him and he'd give it a few licks and return back to his own paws.

This time, I put one end in hot water to juice it up a bit. Finally, he's got it! I don't know why I'm so excited about this new development. It's not like it's freaking Baby Einstein for dogs or anything! It's as if I feel it will help entertain him when I'm not at home. I'm just happy he has a pastime. Even if he does tend to come right up to me and burp in my face afterwards.
