Old Bone with New Twist
Posted on November 9th, 2009 by Cynthia D'Amour
Chop-licking good!
Raindrop has a new toy.
- It is challenging.
- Tasty.
- And impossible to resist.
Last week Raindrop was making me nuts.
- I had a ton to do.
- Including calls.
- I needed her to be quiet.
Raindrop was bored.
- Wanted attention.
- Barked her demands.
- Nothing worked.
I had inspiration due to desperation.
- Grabbed a boring old bone.
- Went to kitchen.
- Wedged one of her very smelly favorite treats in the center of it.
Raindrop went wild for it.
- The treat was stuck just beyond her ability to reach it.
- She could smell it - and almost taste it.
- But couldn’t get it out.
It took Raindrop almost three hours to get the treat out.
- Her formerly neglected bone become the object of obsession.
- She was totally engaged.
- I got an afternoon of quiet.
It was a dream come true for both of us!
Makes me think of chapter leaders…what kind of a twist can you give your chapter’s boring old bones?
