Well, my friends, tonight did not disappoint for dog blog content. It's like this post was begging to be written. Tonight, I came home and my dog was chewing on a...
Wait, wait, wait. Before I just spill the beans, let's drag out the suspense a bit. Check out the picture below and take a few guesses as to what is lying on the floor in front of Preems. His dad stopped at the above-mentioned pet store this afternoon and brought home a few surprises.

So, what do you think it is? A piece of rawhide? Some beef jerky? A cinnamon stick? Actually, it's a bully stick. What is a bully stick, you ask? There's no nice way to put it. It's a dried bull penis.
These all natural beauties are like crack for dogs. Primo was occupied for hours with this thing. I took video of his half-hypnotic chewing because I've never seen him so possessed. And, according to this website, you can purchase bully sticks in sizes ranging from 6 to 36 inches. 36 inches! (It really is like this stuff just about writes itself. Unbelievable. I literally have dozens of other jokes about bully sticks, but my family reads this blog and I don't want them to think less of me.)
Now, Primo is blissfully snoozing after devouring about three quarters of that wonder toy. I have a sneaking suspicion that the dog community has long known about bully sticks, but I hope that they at least had a similar reaction when they discovered the source of the, um, material. It feels very environmentally friendly to use every part of the animal and Primo loves them, so we'll keep buying them for a while. But even I wince a little bit when I see him gnawing on it.
