Jazzy's Special Treat

Even though the twins aren't here yet, they've certainly been getting a lot of attention.  We wanted Jazzy to know that we still think of her as our baby and that she's a very special little girl.  So we decided to buy her a special treat.  

And what do you buy a very spoiled little dog who has everything?  Well, a pig ear, of course!

Jazzy was very interested in her special treat and dug right in.

  

We didn't let her eat the whole thing in one sitting.  We wanted to make sure it didn't upset her stomach, so we decided to take it away from her halfway through.  That didn't go so well...

Eventually we decided to offer Jazzy a trade.  We got one of her dental bones and lured her away from her pig ear with it.  That seemed to do the trick.  

Except I don't think Jazzy realized that we took her pig ear away from her when we gave her the dental bone.  When she finished eating her dental bone, she looked back to where her pig ear had been to find it gone!  She was baffled!  She wandered all around the house trying to find it, the poor thing!  Eventually she gave up.  We both felt kind of bad about confusing her so much.  

We gave her the pig ear again a couple days later and instead of starting to chew away, Jazzy decided she was going to hide it.  She took it upstairs to her bed.  We didn't want her to eat it during the day when we weren't around.  We were afraid she would choke on it, which I know makes us crazy dog parents, but we wanted to be around to supervise her.  So Adam brought the pig ear back downstairs and eventually got her to chew on it in front of us.  I guess she remembered Adam taking it away from her last time and didn't want to lose that precious treat.

More pig ears will definitely be in Jazzy's future!
