Ghost is staying with us today, he’ll go back home in the morning. And today, for some reason, he seemed happier with his lot in life. He got along with LB, he was positively playful, briefly, and LB reciprocated by not driving him away from his new favorite treasure.
This past week my houseguest brought Little Bear a knuckle bone so big even he found it a lasting challenge. Ghost saw it this morning and showed interest but wasn’t so stupid as to try and share.
But this evening after the last walkie I heard a dog’s jaws working on that bone…and it wasn’t LB’s jaws. LB was facing the other way, pretending he didn’t notice. That’s – seriously – more hospitable than LB normally gets. I was impressed.
So I gave him one of the leather bones Uncle Big Brother sent him. Gooood boy.
