White Dog went to the park with Steve early this morning and came rushing back into the bedroom afterward to make sure no one had stolen her beef bone. She lay on top of the bed gnawing instead of saying "good morning" or playing the "cold nose on mama's bare parts" game. White Dog was still carrying around the nubbin when Gregg and Candace arrived for our brunch date. Perhaps she knew Steve planned to put the remaining (now small) piece in the trash, but White Dog hid it or carried it providing no stealth opportunities for Steve. Finally, at dinner White Dog let down her guard to eat chicken and Steve was able to make the bone disappear.
