After everyone ate, we hung out on the porch and the dogs all chewed on their bones.  When I was ready to leave, Bubba wanted to take his into the yard and I couldn't get him to drop his.  So, I let him out and walked to get him his "cookie."  When I handed him his cookie, he dropped the bone.  Ha, where there is a will, there is a way!  I threw it away b/c it was just a small piece and I didn't want anyone to choke on it.
