Herbert attack dog

Warning:  Do not give your Chihuahua a T-bone steak bone.  This is very serious stuff.  He or she could have… might have… a serious mental break with their normal personality.  Yes,  you read it right.  They have a drastic personality change.  They can become a crazed, obsessed, vicious, aggressive 5 lb. Attack Dog.  Hair raises up,  teeth appear to be larger,  eyes glaze over,  a low guttural growl coming from somewhere deep inside.  Scary, very scary.  Yes,  their ears do appear larger.  We are not sure what causes the smell… that will take further research. 

We are also not sure if the size of the steak bone has any effect.  But are guessing it could be any kind of steak bone,  not just a T-bone.  Further studies will be forth coming.  Also… with the eyes glazing… one eye tends to cross.  Only observe this symptom from a distance.

The good news is… when the bone is removed, taken away,  the personality change reverses almost instantly.  They may appear to be a little depressed.  (It would be advisable to wait at least 10 to 20 minutes before consoling  in any way.)  They will once more become that sweet, funny, barking little Chihuahua  that you love and adore.  Hopefully.  If not… seek a dog therapist as soon as humanly possible…. for the health of your ankles.

  1. Also better to give a marrow bone. One that those pesky little, but potent jaws can’t crack apart and splinter and…I won’t go there…
    Glad that bone is out of the picture at least for now. Herbert is such a cutie….

    • I made sure it was a thick bone… one that he could barely get his mouth around. He didn’t chew the bone… just ripped any tiny shred of meat off of it. LOL Don’t think he’s the “bone chewing” kind of dog. More like the T-Bone STEAK kind of dog. He’s back to being my loud guard dog, and nap companion. LOL —– Original Message —–
