Charlie is a chewer. Plain and simple. Anything he can get his teeth on he is happy to chew. His preferences include: shoelaces, our couch, magazines, the living room rug and of course my hands. The only thing Charlie likes chewing better than any of these things is a tasty, fragrant bully stick. I like to think of the bully stick as a puppy pacifier, when all else fails it is our go to for calming the little wild man's snapping jaws. For those of you unfamiliar a bully stick, aka "macho sticks" aka "bully bone" aka "pizzles" is a dog treat made from a dried bull's penis. While some dog owner's have qualms about allowing their Fidos to chomp on animal parts, bullysticks are all natural, fully-ingestible and unlike rawhide will not choke or obstruct a dog's bowel. Charlie is of course oblivious to the true nature of his favorite chew stick and I am happy to keep him in blissful chewing ignorance especially when it spares our furniture, flesh and sanity.
