dogs.  Maybe it is because I've been doing my pre-med
work and am going into medicine, my instincts in
regard to meat, is to sterilize, sanatize and cook!  I
know that my Jake's grandmother was very much a
country dog, and working dog.  She lived with her
goats and wasn't protected the way I tend to do with
Jake.  When Jake was born his grandmother was 13 years
old and still going fine.  
   I've been wondering if Jake and Ceasar won't eat
these mice in the garage for me though.  I hate cats
but I've been considering borrowing one for a few
days.
   I have one other question about the carrion though.
What about the bones?  I know beef bones are probably
okay, but fowl bones are known to shatter.  How do
you, or the dogs, handle the bones?
