We obtained Tiny Dog's heartworm preventative pills from a mail-order website, and they were delivered with a ginormous bone for a treat. It is as long as her tail, and twice the width of her leg. She cannot open her mouth widely enough to take a bite - which is probably good, as her minuscule teeth (many of which are still baby teeth since she never grew all of her adult teeth) would probably not be able to handle such a solid item. She licked the bone a few times, and then concentrated on keeping Beloved Husband away from it. "I can't eat it, but neither can you!" appears to be her attitude.
The bone reminded Herself of ottoman-shaped dog; the medications for his cancer were also delivered in the mail, and the box always included a small bone. Although he was not allowed many such treats because of his diabetes, Herself would break off a corner of the bone for him, and then give the rest to ancient-decrepit dog. They both enjoyed them very much.
