Give a dog a bone!

A few days ago Geoff killed a rooster. a.) two crowing roosters is too much. b.) It was fighting with Mr Magnificent and winning!. c.)We are meant to be eating stuff like that aren't we?. d.) Didn't look terribly appetising. e.) It made good dog food!!!!......ANYWAY.................Aside from our failings at being able to eat our own produce.........Geoff gave the one of its clawed feet to Lilli. Lilli was so overwhelmed with excitement as to what to do with this scaly treat she buried it. There's no way she would ever be able to eat it as her tiny teeth would have no chance of getting through the skin!. So she buried it in one of new beds l will plant out next year at the front of the house. It's all crumbly horse manure so easy for a Chihuahua to get through. Lilli is now guarding the claw with her life!!! From marauding dogs (Treek) the cat (who isn't interested but Lilli doesn't know that!) and a couple of stray wallabies that got into the garden last night somehow! (Now THAT was a sleepless night with Lilli spending most of it ferociously chasing them around the garden away from her claw!!!) AND so onto this morning she had to defend her property from the horses!
They were quite intrigued! And she just sat there! Quivering slightly, but you would l guess having a horse that size only one foot away from you!
She snarled and attacked Max a few times through the wire when she felt he was getting too close!
Even when they started playing and carrying on, she just sat there guarding her claw!!!
 Keeping an eye on their antics though!
And then they wandered off and l went to work leaving this tiny dog forlornly sitting in a pile of horse poo guarding her claw...........
