The other day, Wen put down fifteen bags of landscaping bark in our backyard and we Scotties were ecstatic, because we LOVE to chew it and eat it. Talk about roughage! Of course, it’s not good for us to eat that stuff and if we would swallow too much of it, we could end up with an intestinal blockage, but does that stop us? Heck no! We can’t help ourselves, because the bark texture is perfect for chewing.
To discourage us from eating the bark, Wen put sturdy metal fences around the flower beds years ago, but being smart doggies, we have figured out how to grab pieces of bark with our teeth and pull them out through the fences. It’s a constant battle of the bark with us Scotties determined to get to it and Wen taking pieces away from us and since we have a big new supply of it right now, the bark battle continues….
