Our golden retriever's finally back to her previous weight and strength after two successive years of having puppies. We noticed her weight loss and pitied her as she nursed so many puppies to health. Not one of her puppies died and we were able to find good homes for them. Most became large dogs, especially those that went to relatives who were really into dogs. She's now back to her normal weight and energy. And every now and again, we give Mocha a treat and she stays mostly indoors. Only she and another dog, a maltipoo mix are allowed to stay indoors; even overnights. Both have been trained well and don't mess up our home.

Our Mocha or Mokey as she munches on a bone, which she gets at least once a month.

We kept one of her puppies, Hiccup, from last year. Here he is last weekend after he's given his first bone. He was surprised at first at the treat and initially didn't know what to do with it.

When he finally figured it out, he wasted to no time 'feeling' the bone to see how he could most efficiently eat it.

He ended up with bloody gums but that was normal and expected for this first time to enjoy the treat. The bone was meant for dogs to strengthen their teeth and gums. It helps that it also has properties that improve their breaths.
