The ham bone was such a memorable moment in Lew's life it is hard to believe that we do not have photos but alas we do not have photos.
After rescuing Lew from our neighbors she received all those new dog necessities. Name, Bath, Collar, Tag, and trip to the vet. The vet informed us that she was very malnourished and getting her some medicine and regular food would fix her up.
So what do you do when you find out you have a malnourished puppy? Well my husband's solution was simple.
Step One: Buy a Ham
Step Two: Bake a Ham
Step Three: Eat the Ham
Step Four: Give Malnourished Puppy Ham Bone
While we already knew that she was not getting enough to eat it became instantly apparent that she had also never had a bone. A dog, which the vet estimated to be over six month old and she had never had a bone?
Once Lew had the bone she entered some sort of trance and was not to be seen again until the bone was gone. Friends visited to see the new family member but she couldn't be bothered. She stopped for water and to go to the bathroom. She took naps while laying protectively on top of her bone. While never aggressive about the bone, it was hers.
After that she was always Brandon's princess.
Thanks Cari! :)
