Uxbridge Information & Events

I started to write this blog, then saved it to draft.  After reading a very good blog by JL Boney (and the title of my blog was selected before I read JL's), I decided to blog this for two reasons.  One, I don't want to forget what my topic was.  And two, because it does go along nicely with JL's:

I'll Let You In On A Big Secret

Both blogs have the same message in common.  SAVE! 

I'll admit, I have spoiled my dogs.  They get soup bones a few times a week.  They love 'em, and the calcium they get from gnawing is MUCH better for their system then rawhide treats, which are very hard to digest.

From time-to-time I'll notice that a bone will magically appear . . . all covered in dirt.  YUCK!  I've never witnessed the dogs burying the bones before.  But, the proof is the dirt on the carpet when they bring in their little "find."

The other day I gave the dogs their soup bones.  Kept 'em happy for awhile.

The following day,because the weather wis rainy, cold and wet, we didn't go out walking.  So, I tossed them each another soup bone to keep them content. 

One dog starting gnawing right away.  The other . . . went straight to the backyard, and started digging.  He buried the bone I gave him.  I saw it this time.  SMART DOG!!  He still had the one from the prior day. 

Interesting "instinct" . . .

WHY DO DOGS BURY THEIR BONES?  This is an interesting read. 

After reading the above article, I understand.  And, there are two reasons dogs bury bones: 

• one for the "feast,"
• the other for the "famine." 

In my dog's case -- the feast.  The dog had enough, and was instinctively putting this away for later.

Conversely, the famine, going back eons in their wiring . . . when they don't have enough to eat.

And then I wondered why PEOPLE aren't using basic instincts to SOCK awayput away more.  Just because you have money, doesn't mean you need to spend it all right away.  Again, read JL's blog.

Why do I sound like my Mother??  She'd tell me this every allowance day!
