THIS. IS. MY. CHEWSTICK!

Barley, a dog, displays the business end of a black rubber chew toy in the shape of a hollow bone.

While Barley’s teeth are no longer suited to true skeletal remains, she does enjoy a few more durable toys, and this bone has been the reigning champ. While she’s made gradual progress in wearing it down, the rubber remains surprisingly resilient! Frustratingly, I’ve just noticed that the local store where I’ve bought this toy before no longer carries it, so as a precautionary measure, I’ve just received an extra copy of this toy from an online seller. I probably won’t need it for another year or so, but Barley’s been such a consistent fan (and it has stood up to her so reliably) that I’m willing to invest over the long term.
