My Red Bone

See my red bone in the picture? It's a very special one. It has holes at both ends that mum stuffs a bit of a treat in (sometimes carrots, sometimes cookies, or sometimes peanut butter). She gives it to me when she leaves the house. It started when I was a puppy so I wouldn't cry, or get bored, and now she just does it because. She tells me "up-up" and I know to jump up on the couch and wait for my bone. She thinks it's a treat for me, but I know it's really so she doesn't feel so bad about leaving me :P
