Life with Benny
Life with Benny involves a lot of bone holding. We spoiled him when he was a pup and would hold his bone for him while he chewed so needless to say we have raised a pug that couldn’t hold his own bone if his life depended on it. You reap what you sow, I guess.
In any case, Benny loves to chew so we do a lot of bone holding for him and when we are unable to hold his bone we must come up with a creative way to simulate us holding the bone. Like wedging it between sofa cushions. But, while Benny loves to chew he certainly isn’t a very effective chewer. This goes back to my do the things you love even if you are not the best at them thing that I learned from Henry.
When Benny chews a rawhide bone all he does is soften it up with his slobber. He will work for hours on end, but never really gets anything. When Henry chews we have to keep a very close eye on him to keep him from eating too much at one time. Even Luna, who has the smallest mouth I have ever seen on a pug, can chew circles around Ben.
But it is all moot because there is really nothing Benny likes to do more than go to town chewing a bone while you graciously hold it for him. And this, my friends, is what that is like.

Too cute! I love how he stops for a split second when he notices the camera.
Fun!
