A-ha! thanks Shirlz :)
I reckon it's because I've got this pop-up-blocker thing. I hate computers
Right - thanks Stoney
Spicy snaps duly printed and will be scoffed in short order

I wouldn't feed any bones to a dog - I've seen a couple of cases where dogs have had bits of bone stuck in their insides. Not nice. If you do want to give a dog a bone (
) make it a raw one.
We put smaller bones in the digester (green cone), but larger ones either go in the bin or go in the fire (when dry) and then the compost. Of course, if you're in the Scouts, you could dry it, cut it down and carve it into a woggle!
Glad you enjoyed the food.

yes, raw bones are better as they are less likely to splinter and cause internal damage.

Although raw bones, particularly small to medium ones, can splinter as well.

Oh, dear
My neighbour has two dogs, and I have promised her the bones. Apparently she feeds them to them all the time and welcomes donations.
What to do - withdraw the offer, or let her decide?

sure I remember the safest bones for dogs are the big knuckle? ones. they are all I've ever let my dogs have
