Just a quick note to say that Kody has been feeling better and I gave him one of his new rawhide chews. He was excited by the fact that he hadn’t had one in a long time and spent the next two hours trying to bury it in different places.
Then he started chewing on it kind of gingerly, and then he seemed to get into it and was definitely chewing with the new crown with no problems.
Then as proof that things were back to normal he got bored and stopped chewing and tried to get my attention. With bully sticks he always preferred to chew next to me instead of by himself and would wait until I was available to chew them. I assume that same behavior will transfer over to the rawhide as well. I’m finished working and off to hang out with him now and watch some TV, so we’ll see.
