I hate to be a wet blanket, but Jasper recently smashed a tooth "to smithereens," as the Doggie Dentist said, and in his "Drawer of Shame" were chew hooves, processed bones, and Nylabones!  None of which Jasper ever got anyway!  (None of my dogs have ever been at all interested in them, actually.)    

Don't worry Vinros53 Rocky is a turbo chewer and has chewed on much worse than a nylabone without breaking a tooth . Rocky only chews at night in the livingroom laying on his rug when we are there relaxing watching TV and Reading newspapers. I am going to use scents rubbed on the bones to keep renewing his interest .  Rocky always chews on bones when we are there to supervise as no bone is ever 100% safe. So sorry to hear Jasper broke a tooth on a nylabone  When you think all the chewing our GSPs do during their lives, it is amazing they still have any teeth when older Will keep you informed how it goes

Isn't  it also true how some of our GSPs pack on weight easily no matter how active, while others are trying to find ways to put weight on their GSPs???

Ok, I could not wait for Foster and Smith nylabone delivery, so we went out to dinner , stopped at Fleet Farm and bought him a bacon flavored nylabone to chew. And he just LOVESIT  HOOO RAY

Prior Monday Night Football Greenbay Packers VS New Orleons Saints  Game continues to chew by his rug of toys

Well here I am on Black Friday  Chest is now 34 inches, last week was 34.5 inches so doing well on my low fat Senior diet. Last day of my anitbiotics. I am just streaking across the field in full run like I could not before Alot more pup GSP Energy. I am also loving my nylabones of different shapes and flavors. Thanks for all your prayers. They are working for me. Love Rocky

Here is me about a month ago before I got sick. You can see how much pounds I have taken off and how much better I feel

Wow, Rocky, you are looking very handsome.  Keep up the good work.

Cannot believe the difference with a lighter GSP   Before this happened I was attributing his slowness to aging, not weight. Boy was I wrong. ... Pointer Fan you are right, Rocky has a sad face cause he doesnot like wearing hats  Bean girl, pm Rocky and said the bottom picture( before pic) " Rocky looks like a " Chunky Monkey"!!  Though that saying was really cute!! ..Rocky greatly appreciates all your compliments

Molly has chunked up a bit this fall so we have her on a diet.  She has retaliated by clearing the counters ( got some chocolate (not much) , 3 wheat rolls and an entire loaf of white bread.  She has also learned how to open the fancy trashcan.

Oh!!! Pointer Fan, Molly is not alone at increase counter surfing, garbage dog invader trying to get more treats Glad to hear we are not the only ones who have a GSP displaying the GSP food surfing behavior Rocky did counter surf an end of whole grain wheat bread before I could catch him. Also didnot mention, during our Thanksgiving meal, Rocky lifted the whole Coolwhip container off the back counter when no one was looking!!  When caught, was licking the empty container in the living room. I checked the label on the container and to my relief only had 2% FAT.. Cannot believe Molly girl didnot leave one slice of bread for you out of that loaf. She must have been a hungery girl  Then after our dogs eat loafs of bread, whole containers of cool whip, we wonder how can they ever lose weight?? Almost like being defeated by the dog. ..Wacher sounds like a true counter surfer too and an expert garbage can digger. I have to take all meat smelling garbage outside to cans Rocky is not around. Other wise Rocky cannot keep his self out of the garbage I never had a dog that couldnot put weight on so don't know what that would be like...
